I can never fathom out why people ask for advice then ignore it, especially for something as important as their safety when travelling. I think my children would be very annoyed with me if I had done this.

Arrogant and very stupid. They only had to see what happened to Nazanin Zingari Ratcliffe.

Despite their bad judgement, I hope they don't serve the maximum sentance, it would be hell. Not to mention the legal costs to try and free them.

I agree with all the above posters. They ignored advice and will now be wanting help to get out of a ten year prison sentence.
Who would want to go to Iran?

Arrogant and very very foolish! Never ever ignore FO advice, they’ll be lucky if they get even the slightest help for being stupid enough to ignore the advice.

Well i doubt they were thinking. And now the FO has to waste precious resources on them.

Stupid indeed - what can they have been thinking?

Just really really stupid

This couple set of on a round the world motorcycle trip and ignored FO advice to avoid Iran.

They now face 10 year jail sentences for spying and espionage.

Were they arrogant, naive or possibly guilty?
