UANI Statement and Fact Sheet on Iran's Serial Violations of International Agreements

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 18, 2015 Phone: (212) 922-0063 press@uani.com UANI Statement and Fact Sheet on Iran's Serial Violations of International Agreements Second Ad of UANI Campaign Highlights Iran's Disregard for International Law On Monday, August 17, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) released a new ad entitled "Trust" as part of its multi-million-dollar campaign to educate Americans on the Iran nuclear agreement's serious defects. The ad highlights the fact that Iran has violated more than 20 international agreements, including being caught in 2009 covertly building a secret enrichment facility deep inside a mountain bunker. "There is no reason to expect that Iran will approach this deal differently than previous international agreements it has violated, particularly when Iran can delay the inspection of suspected nuclear facilities for 24 days," said UANI CEO Mark D. Wallace, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and UANI Chairman Joseph I. Lieberman, former U.S. senator from Connecticut. "The verification measures in this agreement are woefully inadequate to police a serial violator of international law like Iran. And even if we are able to detect Iranian cheating, there will be no meaningful penalties available to impose once the global sanctions regime is dismantled." Please learn more about the Iranian regime's long record of violating its treaty obligations and multilateral agreements on key matters such as weapons of mass destruction, arms control, human rights, and governance.
