An Iranian man and a Romanian woman were arrested and charged after allegedly attempting to enter HM Naval Base Clyde, a UK nuclear missile base in Scotland, on Thursday. Police Scotland were alerted to the incident around 5 p.m. and arrested the 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman. Reports indicate they were initially turned away for lacking proper passes and later arrested nearby for suspicious behavior. The base, also known as Faslane, is the primary base for the UK's missile fleet and home to the nation's nuclear deterrent. The suspects are scheduled to appear in Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday, and the investigation is ongoing.
