Iran Imposes Sanctions on US-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies
[AAWSAT] The Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) exchanged accusations, following an official Iranian announcement of sanctions imposed on the Washington-based center and its director on charges of inciting and spreading negative propaganda against Tehran.

The Foundation defines itself as a non-profit, non-partisan research institute focusing on foreign policy and national security.

FDD responded to the Iranian move saying it considers its inclusion on any list put out by the regime as "a badge of honor and looks forward to the day when Americans and others can visit a free and democratic Iran."

In its statement, the Foundation asserted that it conducts independent research and analysis on national security issues, adding that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
prohibits such freedoms at home, and would like to do so abroad as well.

In another tweet, the institute accused the Iranian regime of occupying the "great nation of Iran for four decades," saying it continues to repress Iranians, stealing their wealth and creating destruction and chaos in the Middle East.

The announcement comes less than a month after the United States imposed sanctions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, following the escalation of tension between Tehran and Washington.
