The FBI warned the police departments in California of possible surprise drone attacks from Iran, ABC News reported. The alert was sent at the end of February as the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. The alert said they had no information on what the target could possibly be, or the timing or anything else. “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,” the alert said. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”
FBI and the White House did not comment on the alert.
