Federal authorities have reportedly warned California law enforcement agencies that Iran may be considering a retaliatory drone attack against the U.S. West Coast in retaliation to the strikes carried out on Iran by Israel and the United States.
According to reporting from ABC News, the FBI alert, distributed to police departments at the end of February, said "We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran."
