An Iranian individual has been released from custody following an alleged attempted intrusion at the naval facility where Britain’s nuclear submarines are housed. Prosecutors have also announced that a 31-year-old Romanian woman, who was arrested and charged in connection with the incident, will not face further legal action.

The man and woman were apprehended on Thursday, March 19, after the purported incident at HM Naval Base Clyde, commonly referred to as Faslane. They were subsequently charged and were scheduled to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday.

Faslane serves as the headquarters for the UK’s submarine fleet and houses the Trident nuclear deterrent system. A spokesperson from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service stated that after reviewing the details of the case involving a 34-year-old man linked to the event on March 19, 2026, he was released from custody pending additional investigations and did not attend court. The case against him remains active and is being evaluated.

Regarding the woman, the spokesperson explained that after thorough assessment of the circumstances and evidence, the decision was made not to pursue legal proceedings at this time. However, the Crown reserves the option to proceed in the future if additional evidence surfaces.
