UANI: New York Times Confirms That "Toxic" American-Based Companies Such as Shell, Ingersoll Rand, and Mazda Do Business with Iran While Receiving U.S. Taxpayer Dollars
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - On Sunday the New
York Times confirmed that U.S. companies such as Ingersoll
Rand, Royal
Dutch Shell and Mazda
are doing business with Iran's brutal regime while receiving U.S.
taxpayer dollars. UANI lists these companies on its Iran
Business Registry, and has targeted them for conducting business
with a brutal regime that is illegally developing nuclear weapons. On
June 30, 2009 UANI
first called on Congress to guarantee to every American that their
tax dollars are not paid to companies that do business with Iran.
Taxpayer support of such companies directly strengthens a regime that is
developing nuclear weapons and that has brutally repressed its own
people.
In response to the story, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace
said, "American-based companies such as Ingersoll
Rand continue to operate in Iran and produce the machinery on which
Iran's nuclear program and oil and gas development depend. At the same
time, these companies benefit from millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
UANI has also targeted Royal
Dutch Shell for its extensive business in Iran and its failure to
disclose adequately such business to shareholders and the SEC. Given the
extent of their business in Iran, such companies are too 'toxic' to do
business with the United States. The U.S. Government should end all
contracts with companies that do business in Iran. Companies must
choose: do business with Iran or do business with the U.S."
UANI maintains on its Iran
Business Registry a list of over 200 companies that have been
reported to do business in Iran. With the support of its tens of
thousands of activists, UANI asks these companies to end their business
in Iran.
