DETAILS
Mohammad Mahdi Khanpour Ardestani, an Iranian intelligence officer, is wanted for questioning in connection with the recruitment of individuals for various
operations in the United States, to include lethal targeting of current and former United States Government officials as revenge for the killing of IRGC-QF
Commander Qasem Soleimani. Ardestani also reportedly recruited individuals for surveillance activities focused on religious sites, businesses, and other facilities
in the United States. Ardestani acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security.
If you have any information concerning this person, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

Thoughts? As of today’s posting date (12/9/2023), Ardestani is still listed as a wanted fugitive on the fbi.gov website. I am placing the manhunt for him in the national media section since the case relates to the overall national news story of the war on terror.
