United Against Nuclear Iran

What United Against Nuclear Iran does

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), legally registered as American Coalition Against Nuclear Iran, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit policy organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in New York City, with a satellite presence in Washington, D.C. The organization is focused on combating threats from the Islamic Republic of Iran across four pillars: pursuit of nuclear weapons, state sponsorship of terrorism via proxies such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis, regional destabilization, and human rights violations. UANI serves three primary constituencies: U.S. and international policymakers, businesses with exposure to Iran, and the general public.

UANI's core offerings are research and intelligence products rather than commercial software. Flagship products include the Iran Tanker Tracker (which has monitored Iranian oil exports and documented 42 ship-to-ship transfers near Malaysian waters since late February 2026), the Business Registry of companies engaged with Iran, the International Iran Sanctions Database, the Iran Human Rights Sanctions Tracker, and the Violations and Penalties Tracker. The organization publishes original research reports, an "Eye on Iran" email newsletter, video interviews, and petitions, and runs corporate engagement campaigns that have historically pressured firms such as Air Liquide, Daimler, HSBC, and Maersk Tankers to exit Iran operations. UANI attributes over $700 million in denied oil revenue to the Iranian regime to its tanker tracking and corporate engagement work.

UANI's business model is donation-based, with suggested giving tiers of $50, $100, $250, and custom monthly recurring contributions processed via PayPal. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization is led by Chairman Jeb Bush (former Florida Governor) and CEO Mark Wallace (former U.S. Ambassador to the UN), supported by a Policy Director, Research Director, Director of IRGC Research, General Counsel, and a distinguished Advisory Board including former officials such as Dennis Ross and Frances Townsend. Distribution runs through the website, social channels, and direct media appearances on outlets including Fox News, BBC News, and i24 News. In January 2026, UANI provided the Trump administration with a dossier of 50 Iranian military targets, marking a notable elevation of its role in U.S. national security decision-making.

Core offering

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) policy organization that educates the public, media, academia, business leaders, and policymakers about threats from the Iranian regime — including its nuclear program, state-sponsored terrorism, regional destabilization, and human rights abuses. It produces original research, databases, and tracking tools while running direct corporate engagement campaigns designed to economically and diplomatically isolate Iran.

Product overview

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a nonprofit policy organization that offers research, monitoring, and advocacy services rather than a unified software product. The organization provides the Eye on Iran news summary service, the Iran Tanker Tracker for monitoring oil shipments, a Business Registry of companies operating with Iran, and the International Iran Sanctions Database. Additional offerings include the Iran Human Rights Sanctions Tracker, Violations and Penalties Tracker, and various corporate engagement campaigns targeting sanctions compliance. These services are designed to inform policymakers, businesses, and the public about Iranian threats and to ensure the regime's economic and diplomatic isolation.

Broad incumbents

• Heritage Foundation: Large conservative policy research institution that produces regular Iran-related analysis and policy recommendations to U.S. government. Comparable to UANI in policy orientation and donor base, though far broader in scope.
• American Enterprise Institute (AEI): Centrist-conservative think tank with a Middle East foreign policy program and frequent Iran commentary. Comparable to UANI as a research-driven policy influencer feeding the same Washington policy ecosystem.
• Atlantic Council: Major international affairs think tank with a Middle East programs portfolio and a GeoEconomics Center that tracks sanctions and illicit finance. Broader scope than UANI but overlaps in providing Iran policy research, data, and convening power for governments and corporates.
• RAND Corporation: Global policy research institution with significant work on Iran, nuclear proliferation, and sanctions. Comparable to UANI in producing research relied upon by U.S. government, but with vastly larger resources and government contract model.
• Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS): Bipartisan D.C. policy research organization covering global security, including a significant Iran and Middle East program. Comparable to UANI as a research/policy influencer, but with much larger staff, budget, and broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD): Washington-based nonpartisan think tank with a dedicated Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance and long-standing FDD Action Fund advocacy. Directly comparable to UANI: similar Iran focus, similar corporate/policy engagement model, similar donor-funded structure, and similar hawkish policy orientation.
• The Washington Institute for Near East Policy: Elite D.C. policy think tank focused on U.S. interests in the Middle East, with deep research on Iran, sanctions, and regional security. Comparable to UANI in audience (policymakers, media, donors), policy depth, and direct engagement with U.S. government on Iran strategy.
• Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA): D.C. nonprofit that briefs U.S. policymakers on Middle East security issues, including Iran. Comparable to UANI in advocacy, policy access, and donor-supported model, with overlapping advisory board networks.
• Institute for the Study of War (ISW): D.C.-based policy research organization producing open-source intelligence and analysis on conflicts including Iran and its proxies. Comparable to UANI in producing real-time, source-grounded intelligence products for U.S. policymakers, though focused on kinetic conflict rather than sanctions.

Others

• United States Institute of Peace (USIP): Federally funded U.S. institution that produces research and policy guidance on conflict zones including Iran. Comparable to UANI as a policy organization working on Iran, but as a government-funded body with a more diplomatic framing rather than an advocacy posture.
