"Echoes of the Past: Trump Administration Takes Cue from FDD on Iran Policy A recent trend has emerged, as key talking points from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) on a potential US-Israel war with Iran appear to be resonating with the Trump administration. The FDD, a think tank with a history of advocacy on hawkish foreign policy issues, has long been a vocal critic of Iran's nuclear program and has pushed for a more aggressive stance against the country. As the US and Israel continue to ratchet up tensions with Iran, concerns are growing that the administration may be considering a military option. With the stakes higher than ever, the influence of the FDD's rhetoric on US policy raises important questions about the role of think tanks in shaping foreign policy decisions."
