Iran indicts 3 dual nationals, foreigner

Iran announces that three dual nationals and a foreigner held in the country have been indicted on unknown charges, part of a series of detentions in the wake of last year’s nuclear deal with world powers.

The four, who have ties to Britain, Canada and the US, all are believed to have been detained by hard-liners in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.

The reasons for their arrests remain unclear, though the husband of one of them says his family was told by the Guard she’d be released if the British government agreed to their demands.
