British couple detained in Iran after adventure trip goes awry

Two British citizens, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, are detained in Iran and face espionage charges, which the Iranian government claims are due to their intelligence work for hostile Western countries.
The Foremans entered Iran in late December 2024, intending to travel to Pakistan, after crossing from Armenia, but were detained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in early January.
The British Foreign Office expressed deep concern over the Foremans' detainment and is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding the situation.
Lindsay Foreman stated on social media that they aimed to gather messages of hope while being aware of the risks associated with their journey.
