The FBI�s Washington Field Office on Tuesday released �Seeking Information� posters for three senior Iranian intelligence operatives believed to have orchestrated the 2007 abduction of retired FBI Special Agent Robert A. �Bob� Levinson from Kish Island, Iran.

The men � high-ranking officers in Iran�s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) � are now officially in the crosshairs of the U.S. government�s ongoing investigation into Levinson�s disappearance, which remains one of the longest-held unresolved hostage cases in American history.

�These three intelligence officers were among those who allegedly facilitated Bob’s abduction and the subsequent cover-up by the Iranian government,� said Steven Jensen, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI�s Washington Field Office. �Bob likely later perished in captivity far from his family, friends, and colleagues. The FBI will continue its relentless pursuit to hold anyone involved accountable for their reprehensible actions.�

The three named officials are:

• Reza Amiri Moghadam (a.k.a. Ahmad Amirinia): Currently serving as Iran�s ambassador to Pakistan, Moghadam previously led MOIS�s operations unit. During his tenure, agents across Europe answered directly to him from Tehran.
• Taghi Daneshvar (a.k.a. Sayyed Taghi Ghaemi): A high-level counterespionage official who supervised activities related to Levinson�s disappearance, including the work of Mohammad Baseri, one of the two Iranian agents already sanctioned by the U.S. in 2020.
• Gholamhossein Mohammadnia: A former Iranian ambassador to Albania, expelled in 2018 for endangering national security. Mohammadnia allegedly spearheaded efforts to fabricate a narrative that blamed Levinson�s disappearance on Pakistani terrorist groups � a disinformation campaign designed to deflect responsibility from the Iranian regime.

Tuesday�s announcement comes on the heels of a March 2025 move by the U.S. Treasury Department�s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which formally designated Moghadam, Daneshvar, and Mohammadnia for their roles in Levinson�s kidnapping and prolonged detention.

The release of the FBI posters marks another chapter in the U.S. government�s effort to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding Levinson�s fate. Though the Iranian government has spent nearly 18 years denying any knowledge of his whereabouts, mounting evidence � including communications intercepted and declassified by U.S. intelligence � has pointed directly to MOIS involvement and a sustained cover-up campaign led by its senior leadership.

The FBI continues to offer a reward of up to $5 million for credible information that leads to Levinson�s recovery. The U.S. State Department�s Rewards for Justice program has also put up an additional $20 million, bringing the total potential reward to $25 million � one of the largest in American history for a missing person.

�Justice for Bob Levinson is not negotiable,� Jensen said. �We are not done.�
