Iranian man, Romanian woman charged after allegedly trying to enter UK nuclear missile base, officials say

The agency said around 5 p.m. on Thursday, "we were made aware of two people attempting to enter HM Naval Base Clyde." 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Police Scotland for further comment.

The Royal Navy says the base is home "to the core of the Submarine Service, including the nation's nuclear deterrent, and the new generation of hunter-killer submarines." 

The U.K. Parliament says 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," it added. 

A Royal Navy spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday, "Police Scotland have arrested two people who unsuccessfully attempted to enter HM Naval Base Clyde on Thursday 19 March. As the matter is subject to an ongoing investigation, we will not comment further."
