The FBI has issued a warning to law-enforcement agencies across California after intelligence raised concerns about a possible retaliatory attack linked to rising tensions between the United States and Iran. The alert was sent to local police departments to encourage increased vigilance while authorities continue monitoring the situation.
According to reports, the warning suggested that Iranian officials had discussed the possibility of launching a surprise drone attack against targets along the California coast. The drones could potentially be launched from a vessel positioned offshore, allowing them to approach coastal areas without immediate detection. However, the alert did not identify any specific locations or provide details about when such an attack might occur.
Officials emphasized that the information behind the warning is limited and has not been confirmed. Authorities also stressed that there is currently no evidence of an immediate or credible threat to the public. The bulletin was mainly intended to remind local agencies to remain alert and prepared. The warning comes as tensions in the Middle East remain high following recent military developments involving the United States and Iran. Federal and local security agencies say they will continue monitoring intelligence and coordinating efforts to ensure the safety of communities across California.
