US bombing increases fears for man’s parents and sister, who won tribunal ruling that they had right to live in UK
A British man has told of his fears for his family who are trapped in Iran after winning the right to reunite in the UK, because the Home Office has appealed against the decision.
After news broke in the early hours of Sunday morning that the US had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, fears for the safety of the man’s parents and sister, currently stranded in Tehran, are mounting.
The man, whom the Guardian is not naming to protect his family, said: “It breaks my heart knowing the difficulties that my parents and sister are having. The daily worry and coordination to support them all add to a sense of helplessness.
“Since escaping from Afghanistan after the arrival of the Taliban in 2021 my parents have lost their home and community, all their belongings and their careers.”
