Statement by UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, on Maersk's Business in Iran
New York, NY -
United Against Nuclear Iran
(UANI) today called on Maersk to disclose fully the extent and nature
of its
business in Iran.
UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, made the following
statement
regarding Maersk's business in Iran:
It is disappointing to
learn that Maersk has a history of
violating Iran and Sudan sanctions. On the
same day
that Maersk wrote to UANI admitting to business in
Iran, but
asserting
its compliance with Iran sanctions, Maersk
consented to a Treasury fine and admitted to past violations
of sanctions. Maersk's statements
are inconsistent with
its behavior. As a company that does billions of dollars
worth of
business with the U.S. military, Maersk must be transparent about its
business
in Iran. We call on Maersk to disclose fully the extent and
nature of its
business in Iran.
