This morning, Russia's top nuclear official officially stated that work on Iran's first nuclear plant is on schedule and that the reactor will go on-line by early August.

Rosatom chief Sergei Kiriyenko said Thursday that possible international sanctions being drawn up against Iran will not impede the launching of the reactor in Bushehr. Work on the plant began over 35 years ago by a German company that eventually abandoned the project after the Islamic revolution in 1979.

Who We Are

The idea of a nuclear-armed Revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran should be the concern of the entire community of nations. Since its creation in 1979, the Islamic Republic has constantly demonstrated an instable political behavior. Continuously defying the international community.

In the last decade, Iran has defied the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations over its highly controversial nuclear weapon program.

The absent of clarity and accountability has been a trademark of the Islamic Republic’s nascent nuclear weapons program. Most of the western world and moderate Arab nations in the Middle East had repeatedly stated that a nuclear-armed Iran would provide the greatest threat to the region.

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a non-partisan, board-based coalition that is united in its commitment to prevent the Islamic Republic from fulfilling its ambition of becoming a regional nuclear power. UANIis an issue-based coalition in which each coalition member will have its own interests as well as the collective goal of advancing an Iranian free of nuclear weapons.
