Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian woman jailed in Iran, has been told she has to face another trial.
The charity worker is nearing the end of her five-year sentence for spying charges, which she has always denied.
Iranian state media said she was brought before a revolutionary court in the country's capital Tehran on Tuesday morning.
The Foreign Office said the new charge, which has not been made public, was "indefensible and unacceptable".
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in April 2016 while travelling to visit her parents with her young British-born daughter, Gabriella.
The dual national was sentenced to five years in prison over allegations of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, which she denies.
