Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have detained several foreigners, including Britain’s second-most senior envoy in Tehran.
The group has been detained for alleged acts of spying, such as taking soil samples from restricted areas, according to state TV.
“These spies were taking earth samples in Iran’s central desert where the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace missile exercises were conducted,” they said.
