Two individuals suspected of espionage for Iran have been detained after attempting to access Britain's nuclear submarine base in Scotland, the Sun reported on Friday.

This incident occurs three weeks into the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, although Britain itself remains neutral, merely defending its assets against potential Iranian threats.

Police Scotland confirmed the arrest of a man and a woman in proximity to the vital naval facility, HM Naval Base Clyde, further accentuating ongoing security concerns related to Iran's purported intelligence activities in the UK.
