Report: Two Suspected Iranian Spies Arrested near UK Submarine Base
(Reuters) Two suspected Iranian spies have been arrested after attempting to enter Britain's nuclear submarine base in Scotland, the Sun newspaper reported on Friday. Police Scotland confirmed they had arrested a man and a woman on Thursday near HM Naval Base Clyde on the west coast of Scotland. The Sun reported the arrested man was believed to be an Iranian national. The threat posed to Britain from Iran has been the subject of repeated warnings from the UK's domestic spy agency MI5, with accusations that Tehran was behind more than 20 suspected kidnap and assassination plots in the country. There have been several cases of suspected Iranian spies being arrested in the UK over the last year.
