Couple detained in Iran allowed first call home
Published: 8/5/2025

British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman detained in Iran have been allowed their first phone calls home after months of no direct contact. The couple, accused of espionage, were on a round-the-world trip when they were arrested in January. Their family, relieved to hear from them, is urging the British government to secure their release from what has been described as Iran's worst prisons. The couple's situation has been likened to a geopolitical power struggle, with ongoing efforts to raise their case with Iran's government.
