A potential new flashpoint with Iran emerged in reporting by NBC's Pete Williams. He told us about a former FBI agent turned "private consultant" and a "scholar and Iranian expert" who both traveled there and have not returned. The ex-agent is Bob Levinson last seen negotiating deals on the island of Kish, an Iranian-controled free trade zone. He disappeared two months ago and has not been seen since. The scholar is Haleh Esfandiari, an expatriate Iranian living in Washington DC. Her husband Shaul Bakhash told Williams that Esfandiari is a conference organizer, who was detained, questioned and jailed by authorities in Teheran after visiting her elderly mother. Stay tuned.
