BORIS TO CALL IRAN OVER JAILED BRITON

UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is expected to call his Iranian counterpart amid claims comments he made could land a British woman in jail for five more years.

Appearing before a committee of MPs last week Mr Johnson suggested Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been training journalists in Iran when she was arrested in 2016.

Her family claims she was simply on holiday at the time of her detention.

She's serving a five-year prison sentence accused of 'propaganda against the regime' and it's feared Boris Johnson's remarks could see that term doubled.

Nazanin's husband Richard says Boris Johnson needs to go further.

OUT: …holding her."
