Pro-Israel lobbyists heap Iran pressure on US Congress

AIPAC's annual lobby effort remains one of the most organized and effective in the nation, according to several lawmakers who engage the activists on the Jewish group's policy recommendations.

"AIPAC has been a very aggressive driving force in educating members of Congress," House Republican Mario Diaz-Balart told AFP.

"It is unique, and it has the impact," added Democrat Marc Veasey. "AIPAC does a fantastic job of informing and engaging."
