Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei described the recent claims by US officials alleging the involvement of some Iranian citizens in the case of American Robert Levinson, who disappeared about 18 years ago in an unspecified area in Southwest Asia, as baseless, distracting, and misleading.

Baghaei said, “Despite the repeated accusations against Iran over the past 18 years related to this case, US officials have failed to provide any concrete evidence or documents proving that the person entered Iranian territory or that any incident related to him occurred in Iran. They have only repeated previous claims.”

The spokesperson noted that accusing Iranian citizens is a clichéd method used by the US to avoid accountability to its public regarding the facts of this case.
