Son of British detainee in Iran hopes for Trump help

The son of a woman currently detained in Iran on espionage charges has expressed hope that US President Donald Trump could intervene to help facilitate her release.

Lindsay Foreman and her husband Craig Foreman, from East Sussex, were arrested by Iranian authorities in January while travelling the world.

The family denies claims of espionage, saying the charges are politically motivated.

Following reports that Trump wants to improve diplomatic relations with Iran after signing the Gaza peace plan, Ms Foreman's son Joe Bennett said he "absolutely" wanted the president to step in.
