New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today strongly condemned the secret arrangement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on by the Associated Press that permits Iran to use its own experts and equipment to inspect a site where nuclear arms development allegedly took place.
The report quotes former IAEA Deputy Director General and UANI Advisory Board Member Olli Heinonen, who stated "he can think of no similar concession with any other country."
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, said the following in response to the story:
Its newest television ad entitled "Trust" released earlier this week focuses on the weakness of the agreement's inspection regime, which prevents international inspectors from quickly gaining access to any suspected nuclear facility in Iran. This is a critical gap in being able to ensure compliance.

New Details of Iran Deal Raise Additional Serious Concerns
New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today strongly condemned the secret arrangement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on by the Associated Press that permits Iran to use its own experts and equipment to inspect a site where nuclear arms development allegedly took place.
The report quotes former IAEA Deputy Director General and UANI Advisory Board Member Olli Heinonen, who stated "he can think of no similar concession with any other country."
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, said the following in response to the story:
The more Americans learn about this deal, the more they oppose it. Clearly it is no longer credible to claim that the Iran nuclear deal is built not on trust but on verification. Furthermore, claims that the P5+1 negotiated the most robust inspection regime "ever" cannot be taken seriously if Iran will be leading the investigation into charges of its nuclear weapons development -- charges that it has denied for more than a decade.
The American people deserve a better deal. A trust-based agreement with a serial cheater like Iran is simply not in the national security interest of the United States.
UANI, a not for profit, non-partisan advocacy organization founded in 2008, is conducting a multi-tiered, multi-million-dollar national campaign to educate Americans about the serious shortcomings of the Iran nuclear agreement, which Congress will vote on in September. Its newest television ad entitled "Trust" released earlier this week focuses on the weakness of the agreement's inspection regime, which prevents international inspectors from quickly gaining access to any suspected nuclear facility in Iran. This is a critical gap in being able to ensure compliance.
