Boris Johnson: Jailed mother 'was on holiday' in Iran

Boris Johnson has told MPs he "could have been clearer" over comments that a British-Iranian woman jailed in Iran was training journalists in the country.

Speaking in the Commons, the foreign secretary said Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was on holiday in Iran when she was arrested last year.

He said he had earlier called the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif, to express his anxiety about the case.
