[Iris](/people/iris/) was a representative of [LAKAM](/organizations/lakam/) in [Washington, D.C.](/places/washington-dc/). She served as a conduit for intelligence reports between [Robert McFarlane](/people/robert-mcfarlane/) and [Jonathan Pollard](/people/jonathan-pollard/) in the [U.S.](/places/united-states/), and [Rafi](/organizations/rafi/) in [Israel](/places/israel/).[^1]

[Iris](/people/iris/) would receive requests for computer access codes for certain intelligence items from [Eitan](/organizations/rafi/). She would then pass these requests to [McFarlane](/people/robert-mcfarlane/), who would provide her with the specified access codes. [Iris](/people/iris/) would then give these codes to [Pollard](/people/jonathan-pollard/), who would retrieve the information, photocopy it, and return the copies to [Iris](/people/iris/). This process was designed to distance [McFarlane](/people/robert-mcfarlane/) from [Pollard](/people/jonathan-pollard/).[^1]
