New York, NY - Following the May 2 Financial Times profile of UANI's international campaign to discourage companies from pursuing risky business in Iran, New York Times columnist Roger Cohen highlighted UANI's recent activities on May 6.

On the same day, UANI Chairman Senator Joseph I. Liebermanappeared on the Bloomberg Radio program "Taking Stock," with Kathleen Hays and Pimm Fox. Lieberman discussed "why his organization is warning companies that re-entering the Iranian market is risky business." Audio of that program can be listened to here.

According to Cohen, "One international businessman based in Tehran told me he'd received a letter from United Against Nuclear Iran, an American advocacy organization, warning him that he might be working with the Revolutionary Guards and could get into trouble. 'You can be sure that letter is going to all the European banks,' he said."

UANI will similarly contact hundreds of additional corporations during the next few months. UANI has already sent dozens of letters to corporations such as General Electric, Fiat Chrysler, Siemens, Bombardier and Maersk, as well as major South Korean companies, warning of the myriad endemic risks involving Iran.

On May 4, Senator Lieberman appeared on CNBC's Power Lunch to discuss UANI's international Iran business risk campaign.
