UANI Condemns Siemens for Increasing Its Business in Iran and Reneging on Its Pledge to End Its Dealings There

New York, New York -United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today renewed its call for Siemens to end its business in Iran, following reports that the corporation has seen "surges" in revenues there, now at nearly $1 billion annually.  UANI further called on Siemens to fulfill its pledge to end its business in Iran.

UANI lists Siemens on the Iran Business Registry (IBR) for its business dealings in Iran, and has pressured Siemens through a number of campaigns to stop such business.

United Against Nuclear Iran President, Ambassador Mark Wallace, issued the following statement:

It is simply wrong that Siemens has reneged on its promise to end its Iran business.  Instead of pulling out of Iran, Siemens has duped the international community and increased its business there.  

Siemens must live up to its promises and totally pull out of Iran. Dozens of other corporations have taken a real stand against Iran, and Siemens should do the same.  The United States and other responsible governments and consumers around the world should refuse to do business with Siemens until it makes good on its promises and ends its business in Iran.
