US Congress Introduces Resolution Denouncing Iran-Polisario ConnivanceA U.S. Bipartisan House Resolution has condemned the collusion between the Polisario separatist front and the Lebanese Chiite group, Hezbollah, as well as Iran’s destabilizing aims in North Africa and beyond. For over 10 years and across three Administrations, United States officials have characterized the proposal for autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as both ‘‘serious and credible’’, adds the House resolution. The bipartisan resolution also cites Morocco’s recent decision to sever diplomatic ties with Iran due to its purported support, along with that of the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militia, for the Polisario Front. The Government of Iran has provided monetary and other forms of material support to terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, whereas the United States has designated Hezbollah in its entirety as a foreign terrorist organization.
