A judiciary spokesman is quoted as confirming two had taken pictures in military areas and a third was detained for spying for another country.

Travel bloggers, Jolie King and Mark Firkin, were arrested 10 weeks ago after reportedly flying a drone near a military base in Jajrood in Tehran province.

Dual-British citizen Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been held in Iran for many months according to her family.
