Tunneling Legislation

In 2012, UANI launched its Tunneling & Construction Campaign to highlight the activities of international firms that provide the Iranian regime with sensitive tunneling technology and equipment, as well as related services. The Iranian regime utilizes this equipment to dig massive underground tunnels and facilities that shield and obscure its nuclear program.

While the provision of goods and services for Iran’s tunneling activities is arguably already sanctionable under U.S. and EU law, UANI has proposed legislation for U.S. congress that explicitly penalizes said firms.
