If this report is true, it appears that they have been remarkably thoughtless for;
a] travelling to Iran, although "The pair visited Iran with the intention of 'ending the stigma' around the country."
b] flying a drone there.

Standby for Johnson to helpfully say they were an undercover CNN news crew.

My fault. I forgot to put the link to the Daily Mirror, which has now disappeared.

Can't believe a story like it, particularly if it's on the BBC's website…

That's better, we need t least one DM link in every thread to get some sort of balance.

As for flying a drone in Iran, how stupid can you get. :roll:

Going to Iran considering the current political climate is a risk in itself but flying a drone there as well !! They are either incredibly stupid of naive in the extreme. Hope for them they get out soon.

It's difficult to feel any sympathy for idiots like this, but at least they weren't kidnapped and murdered by local bandits
