<p>If a UK dual-national is detained in a third country, the UK can, if requested,
offer consular assistance to the individual, or liaise with their other country of
nationality if they are better placed to provide assistance. Currently, the UK is
not providing consular assistance to any non-Iranian dual-national British citizens
in detention in Iran. We remain extremely concerned about the welfare of all British
dual nationals detained in Iran. The Prime Minister raised his concerns with President
Rouhani on 9 January, the Foreign Secretary did so with Foreign Minister Zarif on
6 January and I did so with the Iranian Ambassador on 13 January.</p>
