Authorities said Witt worked with Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country&#8217;s elite military force tasked with expanding Tehran&#8217;s influence globally.<\/p>\n<p>Witt entered the Air Force in 1997 and left in 2008, according to the Justice Department. She was also a Defense Department contractor until 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said Witt traveled to Iran in 2012 to attend a conference that criticized &#8220;American moral standards&#8221; and promoted anti-U.S. propaganda. She returned the following year and was given housing and computer equipment by Iranian officials. Authorities allege she later began working on behalf of Tehran by sharing classified information and gathering intelligence on former U.S. intelligence colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>The same 2019 indictment charged four Iranians for conspiracy and aggravated identity theft, accusing them of helping Witt gather information on her former U.S. government colleagues. \u00a0<\/p>\n<section
