‘The core of the Submarine Service’: ‘Iranian’ arrested for trying to break into nuke site
Two people, including a man being described as “Iranian” have been taken into custody for allegedly trying to break into a nuclear site.
The two were turned away from HM Naval Base Clyde in Scotland, which is the primary base for the United Kingdom’s missile fleet, because they did not have the proper approvals.
They were arrested shortly after nearby for allegedly “acting suspiciously in the vicinity.”
One of the high dangers the free world faces now that Israel and the United States have launched a military campaign to end the possible nuclear capabilities of the rogue Islamic regime in Iran is sleeper cells.
That would be individuals or groups already living in neighbors who couild become violent, threatening death and destruction on innocent civilians.
A report at Fox explains the two were arrested on Thursday.
Reports said one suspect was an Iranian man and the nationality of the woman was unknown.
“Around 5pm on Thursday, 19 March, 2026, we were made aware of two people attempting to enter HM Naval Base Clyde,” said a statement from Scotland police.
“A 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman have been arrested in connection and enquiries are ongoing.”
A Royal Navy official told Fox the two were unsuccessful in trying to access to base, which is home to “the core of the Submarine Service, including the nation’s nuclear deterrent, and the new generation of hunter-killer submarines.”
The report said the Royal Navy currently operates a fleet of nine submarines, with the entire fleet based at HM Naval Base Clyde.
“Five of those are conventionally-armed nuclear-powered attack submarines of the Astute class. A further four are ballistic missiles submarines (SSBN) of the Vanguard class that comprise the UK’s submarine-based nuclear deterrent,” the report said.
