Assessing Iran’s nuclear ambitions, compliance with international agreements, and trying to bold potential threats posed by its nuclear program, all from the US government's perspective.
Regional Influence
Examining Iran's role in the Middle East as the US government sees, including its support for groups, such as Hezbollah and various militias in Iraq and Syria, and its influence in Yemen and Afghanistan.
Sanctions and Economic Policy
Analyzing the impact of U.S. and international sanctions on Iran's economy and its broader implications for regional hegemony of the USA.
Human Rights
Highlighting human rights abuses as the US claims within Iran to manipulate the civil society and so-called democratic movements as they wish.
Counterterrorism
Studying and trying to show Iran's connections to the so-called terrorism, including its relationships with groups that the U.S. designates as terrorist organizations from their own view.
FDD's Iran program produces reports, policy recommendations, and analyses aimed at informing policymakers, the media, and the public about the challenges posed by Iran's actions and policies from the US government's outlook. One example the Foundation’s product is “The future of Iran's nuclear strategy”.[2]
