Australia's foreign ministry had said it was providing consular assistance to the families of three Australians detained in Iran after Britain's Times newspaper reported that two British-Australian women and the Australian boyfriend of one of them had been detained in Iran.
The newspaper did not identify the dual British-Australians at the request of the British Foreign Office and said the Australian government was taking the lead in both cases. Britain said on Wednesday that it had raised concerns with the Iranian ambassador over the number of dual-nationality citizens detained in Iran and the conditions in which they were being held.It is believed the dual-nationals have been incarcerated in Evin jail in Tehran, the same facility which houses Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. The 41-year-old British-Iranian national has been incarcerated in the facility after being seized on spying charges in 2016.
When Auspol says it's providing consular assistance, that means a pencil and a toothbrush, and a monthly phone call to see if you need anything (but they'll only replace the pencil and the toothbrush). FreeAssangeNOW CmonAussie Auspol

Julie Bishop offers to negotiate release of Australians detained in Iran | Sky News AustraliaFormer foreign minister Julie Bishop has offered to help the government secure the release of three Australians jailed in Iran. \n\nMelbourne woman Kylie Moore-Gilbert is being held in an Iranian prison after being arrested more than a year ago. \n\nShe is joined by travel-blogging couple Jolie King and Mark Firkin who were detained in Tehran nearly three months ago for allegedly flying a drone near a military base. \n\nMs Bishop said she had a long-standing relationship with Iran's foreign minister and was happy to help if asked. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia I doubt Iran will release. They were taken to be human shields for what is coming alongside citizens of the UK and US. Why is no one negotiating for Julian Assange to be released? He has served his term and is now being held indefinitely.... Wonder how this makes the current foreign affairs minister feel? Inadequate?

Julie Bishop offers to help secure release of Australians detained in Iran'I have a longstanding and constructive relationship with Iranian Foreign Minister (Javad) Zarif and I met with President (Hassan) Rouhani during my visit to Tehran,' Ms Bishop said. Are you suggesting that Payne has no idea, if you are I agree. If she's having such a relationship with JZ, she should know that when it comes to hostage-taking, JZ and Rouhani are just clowns and the supreme freaking leader has a final say!! Whatever works.

Weapons used in oil field attack 'came from Iran', says Saudi coalitionThe weapons used to strike Saudi oil facilities were Iranian-made, the Riyadh-led coalition said Monday, heightening fears of regional conflict after the US hinted at a military response to the assault. Where were all the weapons made that the Saudis used on Yemen for the last 3 yrs and why is this being ignored by the media? Made out to be a random act when it’s actually part of an ongoing conflict. We could make a fairly substantial list of instances where the U.S (spurred on by Israel) has lied the public into illegal wars. So what makes this any different, considering Iran has been in the cross hairs for decades? Once again MSM complicit. Gulf of Tonkin incident...

Trump ‘has handled Iran badly’ | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Greg Sheridan says US President Donald Trump has “handled Iran pretty badly”. \n\n“The key moment was when he ordered a military strike in retaliation for Iran shooting down an American drone but then aborted the military strike,” Mr Sheridan said.\n\nHis remarks come after two large government-run oil processing facilities in Saudi Arabia were struck by a series of drone strikes on Saturday, causing explosions, huge fires and prompting the nation to cut production. \n\nIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zar lashed out at US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for suggesting Tehran was responsible for the attack, which compromised global oil supply.\n\nSpeaking to Sky News, the journalist said while Mr Trump’s prudence in the use of force is “admirable”, US adversaries are “working it out”.\n\nHe compared Mr Trump to former President Barack Obama and noted “the threat is there, the follow through is not”. \n\nImage: AP\n realDonaldTrump what would a stooge like sheridan know realDonaldTrump Iran knows trump has no balls.
