The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a non-profit neoconservative[1][2][3] think tank and (since 2019) a registered lobbying organization based in Washington, D.C., United States.[4][5] It has also been described as a pro-Israel, anti-Iran lobby group due to its focus on Iran and opposition to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.[6][7][8]
FDD publishes research on foreign policy and security issues, focusing on subjects such as nuclear-non proliferation, cyber threats, sanctions, illicit finance, and policy surrounding Israel, North Korea, Iran, Russia, and the war in Afghanistan.[9][10]
