Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
It is appalling that Iran has begun a new case against Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, and have threatened her with being returned to prison. The Iranian authorities have put an intolerable burden on Nazanin and her family.
I am relieved she remains on temporary release, but she needs to be returned home to her family. We continue to make this clear in the strongest terms.
