For the first time, Iran has acknowledged that it has an open case against former FBI Agent Bob Levinson who hasn't been seen by his family for years since he went to Iran as a CIA contractor. @jrezaian reports https://t.co/5JxFNYjxfp
Levinson’s family has been very thankful to President Trump and the current administration with one of his daughters saying, “We’re encouraged. This administration is engaged and completely committed to bringing my dad home. They’ve taken it as a personal mission. I think they care passionately about bringing my dad and other Americans home.”
On the 40th anniversary of the Iran Hostage Crisis, the administration is renewing their commitment to help bring all missing American service people home. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said, “The Trump administration has made clear that the regime in Iran must release all missing and wrongfully detained Americans, including Robert Levinson, Xiyue Wang, Siamak Namazi and others. We will not rest until they are reunited with their families.”
