British Couple Arrested in Iran on Unspecified Security Charges

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, traveling on a global motorcycle tour, are reportedly being used as political bargaining chips by Iranian authorities.

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, a British couple, were detained in Kerman, Iran, while on a round-the-world motorcycle tour.
Iranian state media cited unspecified 'security-related charges,' but sources suggest their detention is politically motivated due to their British nationality.
The couple had been documenting their travels on social media and were last heard from in early January after acknowledging travel warnings from the UK Foreign Office.
Their family is working with the British government to secure their release, expressing significant concern over their safety and wellbeing.
Observers highlight Iran's history of detaining foreign nationals as leverage in negotiations, with past cases involving prolonged imprisonments and political demands.
