The son of a British couple detained in Iran has heard from his parents for the first time since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, after fearing they were in the notorious Iranian prison targeted by strikes.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained in January while on a motorcycle tour around the world.
The couple were ultimately heading for Australia, having crossed into Iran from Armenia on December 30.
They have been charged with security-related offences. Iran claims the couple “collected information” throughout the country under the guise of being tourists.
Mrs Foreman was reportedly conducting a research project during the journey, asking people what makes a “good life”, and had planned to present her findings at a positive psychology conference in Brisbane in July.
