Two suspected Iranian spies reportedly arrested near UK submarine base据报道，两名涉嫌伊朗间谍的嫌疑人在英国潜艇基地附近被捕。
Two suspected Iranian spies have been arrested after attempting to enter Britain’s nuclear submarine base in Scotland, the Sun newspaper reported.
LONDON — Two suspected Iranian spies have been arrested after attempting to enter Britain’s nuclear submarine base in Scotland, the Sun newspaper reported on Friday.
The arrests come three weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. While Britain has not taken part in the attacks on Iran , the country’s forces have downed Iranian missiles and drones in the Gulf region.
Police Scotland confirmed they had arrested a man and a woman on Thursday near the base, but did not comment on their nationality, adding in a statement that inquiries were ongoing.
“Around 5pm on Thursday, 19 March, 2026, we were made aware of two people attempting to enter HM Naval Base Clyde,” Police Scotland said.
“A 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman have been arrested.”
The Clyde base is located on the west coast of Scotland and is key to Britain’s security, hosting the country’s nuclear-armed submarine fleet, as well as its attack submarines.
The Royal Navy confirmed the arrests in a statement and made no further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
The threat posed to Britain from Iran has been the subject of repeated warnings from the U.K.’s domestic spy agency MI5, with accusations that Tehran was behind more than 20 suspected kidnapping and assassination plots in the country.
The Sun newspaper reported the arrested man was believed to be an Iranian national, while the woman’s nationality was unknown.
There have been several cases of suspected Iranian spies being arrested in the U.K. over the last year. Iran has repeatedly denied allegations of spying, saying it is part of a campaign against it by hostile Western powers.
Two men appeared in a London court on Thursday accused of being tasked by Iran to carry out hostile surveillance on Jewish people and sites in London.
伦敦——据《太阳报》周五报道，两名涉嫌伊朗间谍的男子因试图进入英国位于苏格兰的核潜艇基地而被捕。
此次逮捕行动正值美以对伊朗战争爆发三周之际。虽然英国没有参与对伊朗的袭击，但其军队已在海湾地区击落了伊朗的导弹和无人机。
苏格兰警方证实，他们周四在基地附近逮捕了一男一女，但没有评论他们的国籍，并在声明中补充说，调查仍在进行中。
苏格兰警方表示：“2026年3月19日星期四下午5点左右，我们接到报告称有两人试图进入克莱德皇家海军基地。”
“一名34岁男子和一名31岁女子已被逮捕。”
克莱德基地位于苏格兰西海岸，对英国的安全至关重要，是英国核潜艇舰队和攻击型潜艇的驻地。
英国皇家海军在一份声明中证实了逮捕行动，并以调查仍在进行为由，拒绝发表进一步评论。
英国国内间谍机构军情五处曾多次警告伊朗对英国构成的威胁，并指控德黑兰是该国 20 多起疑似绑架和暗杀阴谋的幕后黑手。
《太阳报》报道称，被捕男子据信是伊朗公民，而该女子的国籍不明。
过去一年中，英国逮捕了多起疑似伊朗间谍的案件。伊朗一再否认间谍指控，称这是敌对西方势力针对伊朗发起的行动的一部分。
周四，两名男子在伦敦一家法院出庭，被指控受伊朗指使，对伦敦的犹太人和犹太人场所进行敌对监视。
