Federal law enforcement recently shared an alert with police departments in California saying that U.S. intelligence suggested Iran may have “aspired” to plan a drone‑based attack toward the West Coast if the United States carried out strikes against Iran. The bulletin, reviewed by multiple news outlets, said authorities have no confirmed information about timing, targets, method, or who would carry out such an attack.
Officials have stressed there is no known imminent threat, and the alert was circulated so local agencies could stay informed. California’s governor said there is no specific danger at this time, and departments are coordinating with federal partners to monitor the situation.
