No action taken against Iranian man who tried to enter nuclear base
Prosecutors said there was insufficient admissible evidence, but they may bring charges later if new evidence emerges.
- The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service announced prosecutors will bring no proceedings against a 34-year-old Iranian man following an incident at Faslane on March 19, 2026.
- Two people allegedly attempted to enter Naval Base Clyde, located on the Gare Loch about 25 miles from Glasgow, according to the Royal Navy.
- Naval Base Clyde houses the UK's nuclear deterrent, including four Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines carrying Trident nuclear missiles and the Royal Navy's Astute-class attack submarines.
- Prosecutors stated there will be no proceedings "at this time," though the Crown "reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available."
- The March arrests occurred just weeks after Israel attacked Iran in late February, intensifying scrutiny of security at the nuclear-armed facility.
