The United States on Monday sanctioned two Iranian intelligence officials over the kidnapping and detention of Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent who vanished nearly 14 years ago in Iran and is believed to have died in regime custody.
The US Treasury Department blacklisted Mohammad Baseri and Ahmad Khazai, two high-ranking Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security officials, in what marked the first public actions the US government has taken against the Iranian government over Levinson, the longest-held hostage in American history.
