S. 4063 would require the Secretary of State to submit an annual report to Congress assessing whether the Polisario Front—a political and military organization founded in 1973 seeking independence for Western Sahara—has cooperated with Iranian-affiliated terrorist groups. The report must specifically investigate whether the Polisario Front has provided or received military support, weapons, drones, air defense systems, or military intelligence from these Iranian entities. If the State Department determines such cooperation has occurred, the President would have 30 days to impose severe sanctions, including designating the Polisario Front as a foreign terrorist organization and blocking its assets and transactions in the United States. The first report is due within 90 days of enactment and must cover the previous 10 years, with subsequent annual reports covering the period since the last submission. The bill contains no special funding provisions and relies on existing executive authority to implement sanctions.
