The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a[1][2][3] 501(c)(3) non-profit[4] think tank based in Washington, D.C., United States.[5][6] 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.[7][8][9]

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.[10][11]

In September 2019, FDD executives formed the 501(c)(4) organization FDD Action,[12][13] which officially registered as a lobby under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 on 15 November 2019.[8]
