ICYMI: UANI Interviewed on Sky News and CNBC This Week on Iran Business Risks
Newsweek and The Banker Also Feature Impact of UANI Campaign

New York, NY - The United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) international campaign to highlight the risks of doing business in Iran was featured in three television interviews on international news outlets this week.

On May 16, UANI Chairman Senator Joseph I. Lieberman was interviewed on Sky News, followed the next day by an interview on CNBC Africa with UANI President David Ibsen on the business risks associated with South African President Jacob Zuma's recent visit to Iran. On May 18, UANI President Ibsen was interviewed on Sky News Arabia about UANI's Iran business risk campaign.

Newsweek also featured UANI in its analysis, "Why the Iranian nuclear deal is at risk of unraveling":

"Meanwhile, an influential lobby, United Against Nuclear Iran, is leading a major campaign to discourage European companies from doing business with Tehran, warning they could end up violating the remaining sanctions."

The editor of The Banker magazine, Brian Caplen, in an article entitled, "US secretary John Kerry's Iran stance lacks credibility," added:

"Then there is the no small matter that the American lobby group United Against Nuclear Iran, led by Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, is trying to... discourage big companies from investing in Iran."

The Italian-language news website l'intraprendente also featured a May 17 letter from UANI CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace to Luca Ceriscioli, the President of Italy's Marche region, who recently visited Iran.
