23 716 7

Recently, two individuals were detained by military personnel in Scotland (UK) after attempting to enter the major naval base Clyde (HMNB Clyde, also known as HMS Neptune, which also houses Faslane and the Coulport arsenal) in Gare Loch. The incident was highly controversial because it houses Britain's nuclear deterrent, represented by the Trident program and Vanguard-class nuclear submarines, and occurred against the backdrop of the war with Iran.

The British newspaper The Guardian reported that a 34-year-old man of Iranian descent and a 31-year-old woman of Romanian descent were charged with attempting to gain access to a strategic facility. According to a Scottish police spokesperson, the men have been arrested, and a preliminary hearing will be held at Dumbarton Crown Court on Monday, March 23.

Iran has reached the citadel of British nuclear submarines.

The Faslane base is home to four Vanguard-class SSBNs, which carry UGM-133A Trident II (D5) precision-guided three-stage ballistic missiles (SLBMs) ​​with a range of up to 12,000 km, forming a key element of the UK's strategic deterrent. The solid-fuel UGM-133A Trident II (D5) missiles have multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) armed with W76 (100 kt) or W88 (475 kt) thermonuclear warheads. Each submarine has 16 SLBM launchers.

      In America, not long ago, two of our women were detained for getting lost and going to a guarded facility. And here, too, I think they'll detain suspicious people.

    Recently, two people were detained by the military in Scotland (UK),

    He may have been reaching for it, but he didn't quite make it. So the headline should have been something like, "Iran busted near British nuclear submarine citadel," or something like, "Two Iranian saboteurs caught near British nuclear submarine citadel."

    These aren't saboteurs, they're just some kind of idiots. The Persians sent their black bearded guy right there, probably with a flag and in a robe! Okay, so there's an Iranian there, but what was that Romanian doing there?!
    Yes, for the sake of reporting, bonuses, stars and at the same time the incitement of personaphobia, they grabbed a couple of black people, they have a lot of them there now, and declared them saboteurs!

    What nonsense? Where's the Iran that's managed to reach us? Iran's failed spies, that's true, why twist it upside down?
