Plain-English Summary
The proposal would punish the Polisario Front, a Western Saharan independence movement, with economic and diplomatic penalties if it works with groups connected to Iran that the U.S. considers terrorist organizations. The measure targets the leadership and supporters of the Polisario Front by restricting their access to U.S. financial systems and potentially freezing any assets they hold in America. This would affect the organization's ability to operate internationally and raise funds if it maintains ties to Iranian-backed militant groups.
