British Couple in Iran Prison Amid Escalating Conflict

0:00Today is March 20th. Here's what's making headlines worldwide. A British couple, Lindsay and Craig Foreman, sit in an Iranian prison serving 10-year sentences for alleged spying charges they strongly reject. Their family claims the pair is being held as leverage right now amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. The two were arrested back in January 2025 while riding motorcycles on a global adventure. Just days ago, a nearby blast at Tehran's even prison shattered windows and Craig's ward and sent debris raining down on inmates. Their son, Joe Bennett, paints a grim picture of life inside with non-stop drone noise overhead, cramped cells crawling with rats and bugs in metal. Bumps without padding, leaving everyone and constant pain. Bennett has pressed the UK government hard for action, speaking at a recent conference in Washington and meeting Foreign Secretary Avet Cooper this week. He says their support feels minimal, mostly just basic help with no real push forward.
