Juniors and seniors at HANC discuss Iran nuclear threat

Last week, UANI (United Against Nuclear Iran) research director Matan Shamir, who has been tracking U.S. sanctions of Iran for months, spoke to Hebrew Academy of Nassau County High School juniors and seniors about the advocacy group’s efforts to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to obtain nuclear weapons.

Shamir said that the threat of nuclear Iran is greater than ever. He raised the students’ awareness of the nature of the Iranian regime, including its desire and intent to possess nuclear weapons, as well as Iran’s role as a state sponsor of global terrorism and a major violator of human rights at home and abroad.

Shamir stressed the importance of the public utilizing media outreach and persuading our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran.

The program was very informative and put the issue of a nuclear Iran in perspective for students, pressing and inspiring many of them to take action via lobbying to strengthen sanctions and take on preventative measures.

This is one of the many programs that HANC High School brings to the forefront to engage students in conversations on important world matters.
