Original Note:
AIPAC is not registered under FARA due to a legal loophole. It was set up to raise money from U.S. citizens, not from foreign sponsors. https://forward.com/opinion/395676/its-time-for-aipac-to-register-as-a-foreign-agent/ Israel is not the only country. NIAC uses the same legal loophole to lobby on behalf of the Iranian government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Iranian_American_Council#Republican_Senators'_call_to_investigate_NIAC:~:text=The%20judge%20came%20to%20the%20conclusion%20that%20it%20is%20reasonable%20to%20rationally%20assert%20that%20NIAC%20is%20lobbying%20on%20behalf%20of%20the%20Iranian%20government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Iranian_American_Council#Funding https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-braun-and-cruz-urge-doj-investigation-of-niac
