On Tuesday, May 21 NIAC held its monthly congressional briefing which covered the interlacing relationship between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The briefing included an opening statement by Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Congressman John Conyers (MI-D), during which he emphasized the importance of avoiding a third war with a Muslim State, adding that another war would have constitutional implications. The event, well attended by both house and senate staffers as well as Members of Congress, featured two guest speakers: Tom Dine, former executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and former president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Dr. Avner Cohen, an expert on Israel’s nuclear policy and senior fellow at the United States Institute for Peace.
