THE husband of a British woman jailed in Iran has expressed fears for her safety and that of her family after the US air strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who has dual British-Iranian citizenship, has been imprisoned in the capital Tehran since 2016, when she was arrested and accused of spying while visiting family members.
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s husband Richard, who has been campaigning for her release for the last four years, said: “Things are getting much worse again between the US and Iran, but also between all of us and Iran.
“I sit here partly worried for what that means for Nazanin, partly worried what that means for my in-laws, sat in their ordinary living room in Tehran where they’re all really worried."
Several experts have warned of retaliation by Iran following the US strike.
Former Middle East minister Alistair Burt said the situation was “extremely serious.”
