TEHRAN, March 11 - “The Islamic Republic of Iran has frequently announced that this person once visited Iran and then left the country. Iran has no idea what has happened to him after his departure,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said.

Iran says has no information about former FBI agentTEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “The Islamic Republic of Iran does not have any commitment to US administration about the issue and Iran’s help in the past has been because of humanitarian approach.

Raising allegations against Iran in this case is ‘unfounded and baseless’, since the Islamic Republic of Iran has withheld no help in this case.

Retired FBI agent Robert Levinson reportedly visited Iran’s southern Kish Island on March 9, 2007. He later went missing and his whereabouts have remained unknown ever since. There are different reports about the aim of his trip, with some saying the man, who had become a private detective, was reportedly investigating cigarette counterfeiting in the region. Others said he was on a business trip.

Back in 2010, a video was sent to the Levinsons, reportedly showing the man demanding help for his release. Also in early 2011, some of his images were emailed to the family.

On the 11th anniversary of Levinson’s disappearance from Kish, the US Department of State on Friday claimed that Iran had "committed to cooperating with the United States to assist us in bringing Robert Levinson home" and called on Iran "to fulfill this commitment."
