UANI Supports Senate Confirmation of Adam Szubin as Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes
Ambassador Wallace and Senator Lieberman Express Support for Confirmation 


New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and UANI Chairman Senator Joseph I. Lieberman issued the following statement today regarding the Senate confirmation of Adam Szubin as Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes in the U.S. Department of the Treasury:

"UANI was a leading opponent of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement with Iran. The administration's success in blocking bipartisan and majority opposition to the JCPOA on Capitol Hill should not be the basis to oppose the confirmation of Director Szubin as Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Crimes. Simply put, he is the best person for the job, a true expert, a dedicated public servant and fully committed to serve his country. He has shown those traits over two successive administrations - a rare feat in Washington. On behalf of UANI, and in the strongest possible terms, we support Director Szubin's confirmation. We respectfully call on all of our Senate friends who were rightfully frustrated by the administration's tactics related to the JCPOA to put those concerns aside and support the confirmation of Director Szubin."
