This legislative proposal establishes a framework for imposing sanctions on the Polisario Front if it engages in cooperation with Iranian-affiliated terrorist organizations . The bill defines an "Iranian-affiliated terrorist organization" as an Iranian entity designated as a foreign terrorist organization or a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, specifically including Hezbollah. The Secretary of State is required to submit annual reports to Congress, determining whether the Polisario Front has provided or received specific types of support from these organizations. This support includes armed assistance, weapons systems like unmanned aerial vehicles, air defense components, or military intelligence. If a positive determination of cooperation is made in these reports, the President must then impose sanctions on the Polisario Front, which include designation as a foreign terrorist organization and the blocking of property and transactions under existing executive orders.
