For the first time, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe revealed that the prime minister confirmed her detention was linked to a historic debt that the UK owed to Iran.
The former political prisoner told the BBC’s Emma Barnett that Boris Johnson “said it was about the debt”; referring to the UK’s historic £400 million debt owed to Iran for tanks paid for up front that were never delivered.
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe also discussed the emotional toll of the years she spent apart from her daughter, Gabriella.
