Two British-Iranian nationals have arrived back in the UK after being detained for years in Iran.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori were released after months of negotiations and the payment of a near £400m debt to Tehran by London.
They were detained in 2016 and 2017 respectively on charges they denied of plotting to overthrow the government and spying.
Foreign office minister James Cleverly says it's not linked to attempts to improve relations with Iran so its oil supplies can help ease spiking energy prices.

OUT: ...incarcerated.'
