New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), the nonpartisan, not-for-profit advocacy organization at the forefront of a national education campaign designed to highlight the risks of doing business with the Iranian regime, today announced the addition of two renowned leaders to its Advisory Board: Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. 

Led by a group of former leading diplomats and lawmakers, UANI is warning hundreds of companies that may be contemplating Tehran as a new investment opportunity. The two new board members will play a critical role in amplifying that message.

The new additions represent UANI's growing international reach and expand the group's defense and foreign policy credentials. Governors Bush and Richardson enjoy reputations built on substantial knowledge of complex issues and extensive relationships that reach across the American political spectrum and the world.

Governor Bush brings a private sector perspective, having consulted with major corporations after leaving office, and the stature of being a respected former chief executive of a major state, one which is especially concerned about the Iranian threat. Governor Richardson brings a deep understanding of political and international issues honed as a former Member of Congress, Secretary of Energy, US Ambassador to the United Nations, and Governor of New Mexico.

"UANI is honored to have these distinguished and extraordinarily respected leaders join our advisory board," said UANI's Chairman Senator Joseph I. Lieberman and UANI's CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace. "They underscore the growing bipartisan consensus that the status quo with Iran remains unacceptable, despite the nuclear deal - whether it is Iran's growing support for terrorism, regional military ambitions, or its human rights abuses." 

As part of its campaign to highlight the dangers of business with the Iranian regime, UANI has identified a matrix of 10 key risk categories businesses and sovereign states face should they pursue deals with Tehran.
