An Iranian Revolutionary court has sentenced British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to a one-year jail term and she is banned from leaving the country for a year

, her lawyer Hojjat Kermani told Emtedad news website on Monday.

“I don’t think it’s right at all that Nazanin should be sentenced to any more time in jail,” Johnson told reporters during a campaign appearance. He added that Britain was working with the United States on the issue of dual-nationals jailed in Iran. She was released from house arrest last month at the end of a five-year sentence, but immediately ordered back into court to face the new propaganda charges.

It is absolutely unfair, and inhumane decision. Probably, it is linked to the Nuclear Deal, which Iran, and European countries want to revive.

'to a one-year jail term and she is banned from leaving the country for a year'. Yep, that makes sense. 🙄

Saudi Arabia-Iran 'secret talks' lead to 'watershed' de-escalation of tensions | Sky News AustraliaSky News US contributor Michael Ware says a “watershed” de-escalation of tensions has occurred in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia and Iran issued historic statements of goodwill.\n\nBoth nations reportedly met for 'secret talks' last month to begin discussions about moving toward a more peaceful relationship and this week released expressions indicative of a more conciliatory approach moving forward.\n\nMr Ware said Saudi Arabia severed ties with Iran back in January 2016 close to when former president Donald Trump was sworn in.\n\n“All through the Trump presidency Saudi Arabia knew that it had America writing it essentially a security blank cheque,” he said.\n\nUnder the Trump administration, the policy was to impose maximum economic pain through sanctions on Iran as an incentive to bring the nation to the negotiating table.\n\n'Many experts agree that Saudi Arabia may now feel that America doesn’t entirely have its back and won’t defend it,' Mr Ware said. \n\n“So Saudi Arabi is feeling pressured to reach out to Iran.\n\n“Why might this be happening? The simple answer is the Biden administration.” \n\nThe Biden administration has made it clear it wishes to re-engage in negotiations with Iran and bring back the Iran nuclear deal with was agreed to under former president Barack Obama. \n
