    24.03 UK Sees No Iran Threat

    In today’s briefing: the UK says it sees no evidence that Iran is preparing to target Britain, even as questions grow over a reported missile strike on a US–UK base in the Indian Ocean. Iran denies responsibility — and suggests the attack may have come from elsewhere.We also look at the British couple sentenced to 10 years in an Iranian prison after being accused of spying. In a voice message shared with Reuters, Craig describes life inside as “a war zone”, while the pair say they’ve received no guidance from the UK if tensions worsen. Their case raises a bigger question: how far will the UK go to protect its nationals abroad?Plus a look back at past cases — and why quiet diplomacy has long been the UK’s approach with Tehran.If you find these briefings helpful, don’t forget to subscribe and check back tomorrow for the latest.
