No action taken against Iranian man who tried to enter Faslane base

No further action will be taken against an Iranian man who was arrested in March after attempting to enter the Faslane nuclear submarine base.

  • A 34-year-old Iranian man was arrested on 19 March 2026 at HM Naval Base Clyde.
  • The Crown Office has decided there should be no further proceedings against the man.
  • Faslane is home to the Royal Navy's nuclear-powered submarine fleet, including Vanguard-class submarines carrying Trident nuclear missiles.

No action is to be taken against an Iranian man who attempted to enter the Faslane nuclear submarine base earlier this year. The 34-year-old was arrested at HM Naval Base Clyde near Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, on 19 March, along with a 31-year-old Romanian woman.

The Crown Office stated it had carefully considered the case and decided there should be no further proceedings against the man. It had previously said in March that no proceedings would be brought against the Romanian woman.

The man had been charged but was later released pending further inquiries without appearing in court. The Crown Office added that the procurator fiscal decided no proceedings should be taken at this time, but reserves the right to proceed in the future if further evidence becomes available.
