The wife of former FBI agent Robert Levinson is expressing frustration about efforts to locate her husband and bring him back home. He vanished in 2007 while on an unauthorized mission in Iran for the CIA.
Christine Levinson told a House panel Thursday that she holds Iran responsible for the disappearance of her husband, Robert, but she also said three American administrations have failed to press the Tehran government hard enough for his return, CBS News reports.
“Time and time again, Bob has been left behind, deprioritized, or seemingly forgotten,” she said at a House hearing on the status of Americans detained in Iran. She believes her husband is alive but U.S. officials haven’t done enough to return him home.
“My husband served this country tirelessly for decades,” she said. “He deserves better from all of us and from our government. He deserves our endless pursuit to bring him home, to fight day and night and leave no stone unturned.”
