Washington, D.C. — The FBI is offering a substantial $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Monica Witt, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist charged with spying on behalf of Iran.

Witt, who served in the Air Force as a counterintelligence specialist, was charged in 2019 with providing sensitive information to the Iranian government. Authorities believe she defected to Iran in 2013 after leaving the military and has been living there since.

The FBI states that Witt “likely continues to support Iran’s nefarious activities” and remains at large. New wanted posters featuring multiple photos of the former service member have been released as part of the renewed effort to locate her.

According to court documents, Witt allegedly disclosed classified information and assisted Iranian intelligence operatives, potentially compromising U.S. national security operations and personnel. Her case is considered one of the most significant insider threat cases involving Iran in recent decades.

The $200,000 reward is being offered for any information that directly leads to Witt’s arrest. The FBI is urging anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts or activities to contact authorities immediately.

Witt is described as a U.S. citizen who previously held a high-level security clearance. Officials have not disclosed additional details about her current appearance or possible travel patterns, but photos released by the FBI show her at different stages.

This case highlights ongoing concerns about insider threats within the U.S. intelligence community and the persistent efforts by adversarial nations like Iran to recruit or exploit former American personnel.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the FBI or submit tips through the agency’s website. Tips can remain anonymous.

The investigation remains active, and the reward offer is part of a broader push to bring Witt to justice.
