Former U.S. Air Force officer, Monica Witt is back in the news after the FBI renewed her global search after more than a decade. Incidentally, the search has restarted after a long time, after she allegedly fled to Iran. In fact, the agency recently announced a USD 200,000 reward for details leading to her arrest. The significant decision was taken after investigators believed she still poses a major national security threat. In turn, the search has become even more important amid the rising tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
