<p>The treatment of all British-Iranians detained in Iran, including Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe
is a priority for the Government. We urgently raise these cases with the Iranian Government
at every opportunity. On 14 January, the Foreign Secretary summoned the Iranian Ambassdor
to the UK. The Foreign Secretary called for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe to be immediately
given the healthcare she requires and for her and other British-Iranian dual nationals
to be released. The Iranian authorities have since confirmed that access to external
medical treatment will be permitted. We will continue to raise Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's
case, as well as our other consular cases, with the Iranian Government at every opportunity,
including requesting consular access, and will continue to take action in line with
what we believe will produce the best outcomes in their cases. We are only able to
provide consular support to British nationals, including dual nationals, and to otherwise
un-represented EU and Commonwealth nationals. Mrs Mohammadi as she holds Iranian nationality
only, is not eligible for consular assistance.</p>
