UANI Statement on MTN's "Business as Usual" in Iran

 

New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, issued the following statement today after MTN's spokesman told The Wall Street Journal, in response to UANI, that MTN will continue "business as usual" in Iran.

 

MTN's statement appeared in today's Journal article, "U.S. Lobby Group Seeks MTN Pullout From Iran," which previews UANI's upcoming campaign against MTN.

 

Said Ambassador Wallace:

 

It is regrettable to see MTN's callous statement that it plans to keep doing "business as usual" in Iran. For the Iranian regime, "business as usual" means pursuing nuclear weapons, sponsoring terrorists, killing U.S. troops, and committing brutal and systemic human rights abuses against its own citizens.

 

MTN owes it to its shareholders and customers to leave Iran, and stop partnering with a regime that uses mobile technology to track, stifle, and oppress its own people.
