On Tuesday, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released images of three senior Iranian regime intelligence officers who, according to U.S. officials, were involved in the abduction of retired FBI agent Robert Levinson.
The images were published as “Seeking Information” posters and pertain to Reza Amiri Moghaddam, Taghi Daneshvar, and Gholamhossein Mohammadnia.
According to the FBI, Reza Amiri Moghaddam, who currently serves as the Iranian regime’s ambassador to Pakistan, previously led the operations unit of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence in Tehran—a unit whose several members have been accused of orchestrating Levinson’s 2007 abduction from Kish Island.
The FBI has emphasized that a reward of up to $5 million remains available for information leading to the discovery, return, and location of Levinson. Additionally, the U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program has offered a separate reward of up to $20 million for information related to this case.
Previously, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned these three Iranian regime intelligence officials for their roles in the abduction, detention, and possible death of former FBI agent Robert Levinson.
On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department issued an official statement announcing that Reza Amiri Moghaddam, Gholamhossein Mohammadnia, and Taghi Daneshvar have been added to the sanctions list in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Robert Levinson, a former agent with the FBI’s Drug Enforcement Division, disappeared on March 9, 2007, after flying from Dubai to Kish Island in southern Iran. His family announced in 2020 that he had died.
According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the three sanctioned individuals played a role in Levinson’s abduction and possible death, as well as in efforts by Iran’s regime to conceal or distort its responsibility in the case.
In early March, the U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program announced it was offering up to $20 million for information regarding two Iranian regime agents involved in the abduction of Robert Levinson.
On Wednesday, March 5, the Rewards for Justice program published photos of Ahmad Khazai and Mohammad Baseri—agents of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence—on X, stating that they are suspected of involvement in the abduction, detention, and possible death of Mr. Levinson.
The FBI had also announced in a February 4 statement that it was offering a $25 million reward for information regarding Khazai and Baseri.
On March 26, 2020, Levinson’s family announced his death on their Facebook page.
In their March 2020 statement, the Levinson family said that the cause of his death remains unknown, but that it occurred before the COVID-19 outbreak. They stated that if not for the Iranian regime’s cruel actions, Robert would be with his family today.
In the same statement, the Levinson family said the Iranian regime had abducted a foreign citizen and deprived him of his most basic human rights. “His blood is on their hands.”

They emphasized in their March statement that they would dedicate the rest of their lives to seeking justice for Robert Levinson’s death and would do everything possible to bring Iranian regime officials to justice.
