ICYMI: World Economic Forum Cancels Invite to Iranian Foreign Minister Following UANI Intervention

On January 15, 2026, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace sent a letter to the World Economic Forum (WEF), demanding it revoke its invite to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Ambassador Wallace noted the Islamic Republic’s ongoing crimes against the Iranian people, including the regime’s massacre of thousands and thousands of Iranians amid a national uprising against the Ayatollah’s tyranny.

WEF’s cancellation of the Iranian regime’s foreign minister made international news, including in Politico, the Jerusalem Post, and Iran International TV.

UANI’s letter ultimately triggered an international incident, with Iran’s foreign minister subsequently complaining in an X post about his cancellation:

UANI believes the Iranian regime’s massacre and long history of supporting terrorism warrant intense diplomatic isolation. UANI will continue to hold the Islamic Republic to account for its crimes and to push other responsible actors to do the same.
