HM Naval Base Clyde in Scotland became the focus of heightened security after two individuals were detained for attempting unauthorized access. Police arrested a 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman on Thursday, with one suspect reportedly linked to Iran, according to a source familiar with the investigation. The pair approached Faslane, a Trident submarine base housing the UK’s nuclear missile capabilities, and requested entry.

Their actions triggered an immediate response, as the facility maintains round-the-clock readiness to ensure “the UK’s ability to launch nuclear missiles at any time,” a Ministry of Defence statement confirmed.
