Two people have been charged following an attempt to enter HM Naval Base Clyde, the home of the UK’s nuclear-armed submarine fleet.
Police Scotland said a 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have now been arrested and charged in connection with the incident, which took place on Thursday evening.
“Around 5pm on Thursday, 19 March, 2026, we were made aware of two people attempting to enter HM Naval Base Clyde,” police said.
The pair are due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday, 23 March.
“A 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident,” the statement added, noting that enquiries remain ongoing.
This follows initial reports that two individuals had been detained after attempting to gain access to the base. The Royal Navy previously confirmed the individuals had “unsuccessfully attempted” to enter the site and did not gain access.
HM Naval Base Clyde, located near Helensburgh, is home to the UK’s Vanguard-class submarines, which carry the country’s continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent.
Remember when a UK court not only let off a bunch of whackjobs that broke into a defence facility off the hook but they also let the man who assaulted a female police officer with a sledgehammer go as well?
These two will get a slap on the wrist by our scumbag judiciary
I don’t remember that because it never happened. They are still in jail as of today.
The palestine action goons? They were let go you fool, with the exception of one.
Maybe do some research before commenting
As foreign nationals both these individuals can and should be tried as foreign agents.
People need to realise that you don’t have a right to protest on sensitive military sights especially when you are not a citizen.
At the very least both should be deported once custodial sentences are served.
This country may not be interested in war but war is very much interested in us.
In addition to this attempt to infiltrate a key defence establishment, and previous attempts to interfere with UK elections, Iran has just fired ICBMs at Diego Garcia, 4,000km distance from Iran. That is precisely the distance from Tehran to London.
Let us recall that Iran has enough enriched uranium to fabricate 8 nuclear warheads similar in size to the warhead that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945.
Anyone who believes that Iran is not now endeavouring to integrate a nuclear warhead with its long range ICBMs must be feeling very lucky…
