Tehran Has No Knowledge of Missing US Agent Levinson's Whereabouts
11:39 GMT 26.03.2020 (Updated: 12:56 GMT 06.08.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iran has no knowledge of the whereabouts of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who disappeared in the country in 2007, the spokesman for Iran’s UN Mission, Alireza Miryousefi, said Thursday, in the wake of claims by his family that he had died in detention in Iran.
"Iran has always maintained that its officials have no knowledge of Mr. Levinson's whereabouts, and that he is not in Iranian custody. Those facts have not changed," Miryousefi said in a tweet.
On Wednesday, Levinson’s family released a statement in which they said they recently received information from US officials which led them to believe that Levinson was dead. They said it was not clear when and where Levinson had died but noted that it happened before the coronavirus pandemic, which was declared on 11 March.
Levinson had retired from the FBI in 1998 but was believed to be in Iran on a CIA mission when he disappeared in March 2007.
Iranian authorities have repeatedly denied having detained Levinson and maintain no knowledge of his whereabouts.
