UK Warns British-Iranian Nationals Against Trips To Iran

On Wednesday, Britain advised British-Iranian dual Nationals against traveling to Iran in a bid to tighten up its existing travel advice and warned that it has only limited powers to support them if detained.

“The Foreign Secretary (Jeremy Hunt) has taken the decision to advise against all but essential travel by UK-Iranian dual nationals to Iran.

“British citizens who also hold Iranian nationality face risks if they travel to Iran, as we have seen all too sadly in a number of cases.

“The Iranian government does not recognise dual nationality so if a dual national is detained our ability to provide support is extremely limited,’’ a foreign office spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
