We remain committed to securing the immediate and permanent release of unfairly detained British nationals in Iran, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, Anoosheh Ashoori and Morad Tahbaz. The Foreign Secretary continues to raise Iran's practice of detaining British dual nationals with her Iranian counterpart - most recently on 8 November 2021. Our Ambassador in Tehran also continues to raise these cases with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, most recently on 26 January.
