US sanctions three Iranian officials in Levinson case

The United States has imposed sanctions on three Iranian intelligence officials—Reza Amiri Moghadam, Gholamhossein Mohammadnia, and Taqi Daneshvar—linked to the abduction and probable death of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who disappeared in 2007. The sanctions, announced by the U.S. Treasury and State departments, block any property of these individuals under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibit Americans from engaging with them. FBI Director Kash Patel affirmed that the investigation into Levinson's case is ongoing and emphasized the commitment to holding Iran accountable. This action follows previous sanctions against other Iranian officials related to Levinson's case and highlights Iran's history of wrongful detentions. The U.S. continues to seek the release of all Americans wrongfully detained abroad. A reward of up to $20 million has also been offered for information regarding Levinson's whereabouts.
