"A man, 34, and a woman, 31, were detained by Police Scotland after they had asked to enter one of Britain's most sensitive military sites late on Thursday afternoon."
"The incident is not being considered by the Ministry of Defence to be particularly serious at this stage. The pair did not gain access to the base."
"Their motives are unknown and security sources said it was too soon to be certain it was an attempt at espionage, though there are heightened concerns about possible Iran-related threats in the UK."
A 34-year-old man, believed to be Iranian, and a 31-year-old woman were arrested after trying to enter the Faslane nuclear submarine base in Scotland. The base houses the UK's Trident submarines and is not open to the public. Their request raised immediate concerns, leading to their arrest for suspicious behavior. The Ministry of Defence does not currently view the incident as serious, and their motives remain unclear. There are ongoing investigations into the matter, alongside separate arrests of two other Iranian nationals for surveillance related to the Jewish community in London.
