spy

The spy was released !?


Long-running efforts to get Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe back to the UK are nearing their endgame, the recently retired head of the Foreign Office has said.

Lord McDonald, permanent undersecretary at the FCDO until the summer, said for the first time that the UK had been looking at repaying a historical £ 400m debt to Iran through humanitarian payments that would not be subject to sanctions against the country.

It has been widely claimed that Zaghari-Ratcliffe and other British-Iranian dual nationals who have been jailed in Iran are being held hostage until the UK repays the debt arising from arms sales to the shah of Iran in the mid-1970s.


McDonald told the BBC Radio 4 Today program: “We acknowledge it is Iranian money and it does have to go back to Iran. A key complication is that Iran is subject to very comprehensive sanctions, so how this money is repaid is part of the story. ”

Asked whether the UK had looked into a humanitarian route for paying back the debt he said “huge imagination and effort has gone into this”
