Craig and Lindsay Foreman, jailed in Iran on espionage charges, have been denied adequate medical care and contact with their families, HRANA reported
Assessment
A British couple detained in Iran on espionage charges is escalating their protest through a hunger strike, while a US-based rights organization reports they are being denied medical care and family contact. The case highlights the ongoing risk of dual nationals being used as leverage in Iran's geopolitical negotiations. The couple's deteriorating health and the lack of consular access will likely increase international pressure on Tehran.
