'We heard from them but...': Family of British couple jailed in Iran on charges of espionage says they are extremely worried

Family members of the British couple, 53-year-old Lindsay and Craig Foreman who were arrested and jailed in 2025 while they were traveling through Iran on charges of espionage, said they were extremely worried after the US and Israel attacked the country. The British couple were on their motorcycle trip around the world when they were arrested in Iran. Last month, they were jailed for 10 years on espionage charges that they denied. The couple are being held in Evin prison in Tehran, which has been under massive attack since Saturday. The city is also where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, along with four members of his family and seven other top Iranian security officials.

Lindsay's son Joe Bennett has been campaigning for the couple's release for over a year.
