What to read, watch and listen to on your AIPAC app this weekend
Iran continues to lie and obstruct international inspectors as it advances its nuclear program.
On Monday, the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released two reports underscoring the urgency of addressing Iran’s escalatory nuclear behavior ahead of its upcoming Board of Governors meeting next week.
The IAEA reported that Iran now has enough 60% enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb—if further enriched to weapons grade.
After providing Iran with "numerous opportunities," the IAEA confirmed that the regime has failed to provide "technically credible" answers to resolve longstanding issue over Tehran’s past nuclear activity at three undisclosed sites.
Without complete transparency on Iran’s past enrichment, any nuclear deal with Iran is futile.
Where is the missing nuclear material and equipment?
How can we ever know how much uranium Iran has, if we don't know how much they started with?
Meanwhile, Israel exposed Iran’s systemic effort to deceive the U.N. atomic agency.
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, citing documents taken directly from the Iran’s nuclear archive, revealed Iran used stolen IAEA documents to mislead international inspectors during their investigations.
The way forward: The U.S. and our allies must hold Iran accountable with a formal rebuke by the IAEA Board of Governors and referral to the UN Security Council.
Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) joins AIPAC to discuss his upbringing in Cuba and Spain, his move to the United States, and his path to ultimately becoming a member of Congress. Rep. Díaz-Balart highlights why he supports a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and details the threat from Iran.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon sits down with AIPAC to discuss his latest book, "In the Lion's Den: Israel and the World." The book chronicles Danon's political career and illustrates his vision for Israel's future on the regional and global stage.

Matti Friedman: "Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai"
CONVERSATION • June 2, 2022
Journalist and award winning author Matti Friedman sits down with AIPAC to discuss his newest book "Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai." The book details the little known story about Leonard Cohen's concert tour on the front lines of the Yom Kippur War.
Cyberattacks are one of the great unseen threats of modern warfare.
Iran was behind an attempted hack of the Boston Children's Hospital computer network last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray alleged Wednesday, calling it "one of the most despicable cyberattacks I've ever seen."

Israel and the United Arab Emirates signed a broad economic pact that will eliminate most customs fees and help expand bilateral trade to more than $10 billion within five years.
"The UAE is fast becoming a major trade hub for Israeli companies to trade overseas," says Dorian Barak, co-founder of the UAE-Israel Business Council.
"It looks like psychological warfare and a signal of intent at the same time... It seems clear that once Iran has identified 5 Israeli nationals, those nationals would take extra care," says Military and Strategic Affairs Analyst Yaakov Lappin.
The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
