5, Outline an example of an ethnic lobby's interest in Iran, for example, a group with ties to Israel might lobby for the United States to send weapons to Israel so that the country can protect itself from Iran.
6, Provide an example of a business group's interest in Iran, for example, a multinational oil company might lobby for diplomatic measures rather than economic sanctions or military intervention to prevent having the company's oil supply disrupted.
