UANI TV Ad Highlights Risks of Doing Business in Iran

"Bad Partner"Ad Continues UANI International Campaign

New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today released the first in a series of television ads detailing the multiple risks for companies contemplating business ties with Iran, part of a multifaceted international campaign to clarify the potential legal, financial, and reputational pitfalls inherent in doing business with the number one state sponsor of terror.

The first TV ad, entitled "Bad Partner," focuses on Iran's history of promoting regional terror groups and the likelihood that doing business in Iran will mean more resources for terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas.

The ad states:

The Iran nuclear deal is done. And the world's biggest companies have already visited Tehran. Ready to strike a deal when sanctions end. Iran already gets one hundred billion dollars. These businesses will add even more to Iran's bottom line. And that means continued development of nuclear technologies. And more cash for Hamas and Hezbollah. From the number one state sponsor of terror. Responsible companies don't do business in Iran. They don't invest in Iran. Learn more.

UANI launched its international campaign on November 5 with the release of an open letter detailing the many hazards that business with Iran could trigger, which was signed by dozens of prominent defense and foreign policy experts. Signatories included former Homeland Security Advisor Fran Townsend, former Acting and Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Senators Kit Bond and Norm Coleman, Ambassador Dennis Ross, and former National Security Advisor to the Vice President John Hannah, among others. The letter calls on the global business community to fully consider the potentially grave consequences of business ties to Iran, citing a host of risks.

On November 9, the open letter was published in the Financial Times.

The first video advertisement of the campaign, "Bad Partner," can be viewed here.
