The FBI has released a new wanted poster in Farsi, offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to the capture and prosecution of former US Air Force counterintelligence specialist Monica Witt.

Witt, 47, faces charges for disclosing classified information to the Iranian government and is believed to reside in Iran.

The FBI has renewed interest in Witt's case as the US has been engaged in conflict with Iran since late February.

Witt allegedly defected to Iran in 2013 and provided the Iranian regime with national defense information, and the FBI believes she may still be supporting their activities.

The FBI has characterized Witt as a Caucasian female, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes, and weighing approximately 120 pounds.

Her known aliases include Fatemah Zahra and Narges Witt.
