Iran says it has detained a dual national linked to British intelligence

Iran said on Tuesday it had arrested a dual national last week in Tehran linked to Britain's intelligence service, the latest in a string of arrests of dual nationals over the past year. "The accused was working in an economic sector related to Iran," Tehran prosecutor general Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA. "We are seeking information following the reported detention of a dual Iranian-British national in Iran," the Foreign Office said in a statement.
