JAKARTA - At least two people were arrested in Scotland for allegedly trying to enter a naval base where British nuclear submarines are stored.

AP reported Friday, March 20, one of the two suspected of trying to enter the HM Clyde Naval Base last night was an Iranian citizen.

However, neither the Scottish police nor the navy confirmed the citizenship of the two people arrested.

Police only said that a 34-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were arrested for allegedly trying to enter the base.

According to the police, the two did not try to force their way into the base, but rather asked if they could enter and were denied permission.

The HM Clyde Naval Base in Scotland is known to the British public as Faslane, which is home to the British fleet armed with four Vanguard-class submarines, which can be armed with the country's Trident nuclear deterrent.

Although American nuclear weapons are stationed on British soil, the country is said to have no land-based warheads.
