Richard Ratcliffe says he is worried about what the killing of Gen Qasem Soleimani will mean for his wife, British-Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
Mrs. Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested and imprisoned three-and-a-half years ago on spying charges, which she denies.

Mr. Ratcliffe says increasing tensions have always been bad for his wife's case.
"There's probably a concern, at a selfish level, as to what this means for Nazanin's case, and the fact that tensions increasing is always bad for a solution and someone being released," he says.
"There's always a worry that things could get worse. And then, for my in-laws sitting in their front room in Tehran, just worrying... is this going to mean that we are stepping closer to military action."
