He also accused the US of being an accomplice to Israel's crimes, describing Israel a 'cancerous tumor'. He added: 'Fighting the US and its 'dog on leash' Israel is praiseworthy'.

FBI adds Iran's ambassador to Pakistan to most-wanted list over 2007 agent abduction

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Tuesday added Iran's current ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, to its list of most wanted individuals, accusing him and two other Iranian officials of involvement in the 2007 abduction of a retired special agent from Iran's Kish Island. The FBI said the release of 'Seeking Information' posters featuring the three senior Iranian officials was part of its ongoing investigation into Robert A. 'Bob' Levinson's disappearance and Iran's alleged efforts to conceal its responsibility. The other two named individuals are Taghi Daneshvar, identified as a counterespionage officer in Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and Gholamhossein Mohammadnia, a senior MOIS deputy who served as Iran's ambassador to Albania before being expelled in 2018. 'These three intelligence officers were among those who allegedly facilitated Bob's 2007 abduction and the subsequent cover-up by the Iranian government,' Steven Jensen, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, said in the statement. 'Bob likely later perished in captivity far away from his family, friends, and colleagues.' 'The FBI will continue its relentless pursuit to hold anyone involved in his abduction to account for their reprehensible actions,' he added. According to the FBI, Moghadam, also known as Ahmad Amirinia, led MOIS's operations unit at the time of Levinson's abduction. The agency said European-based MOIS agents reported to him in Tehran. The statement said authorities in Tehran attempted to shift blame for the FBI agent's abduction onto a militant group operating in Pakistan's Balochistan region. The FBI continues to offer a reward of up to $5 million for information that leads to Levinson's location, recovery and return. In addition, the US State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $20 million for relevant information in the case.
