Police Scotland confirmed two arrests following an attempted unauthorized entry at HM Naval Base Clyde in Faslane, Scotland, at approximately 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
The suspects - a 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old woman of unknown nationality - were denied access for lacking proper credentials and later detained nearby for suspicious behavior.
HM Naval Base Clyde, commonly known as Faslane, hosts the UK’s entire submarine fleet, including four Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines armed with Trident nuclear missiles.
A Royal Navy spokesperson declined further comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
