How many Britons are jailed in Iran?
The exact number of British citizens currently jailed in Iran is not publicly disclosed, but several high-profile cases have emerged over the years, often involving dual nationals. Iran does not recognise dual nationality, treating individuals solely as Iranian citizens, which complicates consular access and diplomatic efforts by the UK.
