<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif publicly clarified on 24 April that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's
case was not linked to his offer of a prisoner exchange to the US. He is quoted as
saying, "The offer that I made was people who have been in prison either in the
United States or elsewhere in the world on American request… But the Iranian-British
woman is a separate case." The UK has not been approached for a prisoner exchange
by Iran. In our bilateral discussions with Iran we regularly request consular access
to all our dual national detainees, including Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe. Under the auspices
of diplomatic protection, we will continue to do so to ensure her wellbeing.</p>
