FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert

The FBI warned police departments in California in recent days that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by ABC News.

“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,” according to the alert distributed at the end of February. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”

The warning came just as the Trump administration launched its ongoing assault against the Islamic Republic. Iran has been retaliating with drone strikes against targets throughout the Mideast.

While the FBI’s warning did not specify how or when vessels carrying attack drones could get close enough to the U.S. mainland, intelligence officials have long been concerned about equipment being pre-positioned – either on land or on ships at sea -- in the event Israel or the U.S. struck Iran.

I believe a targeted attack on multiple targets in multiple locations is an immediate threat. Everything points to that, large numbers of unaccompanied Islamic men invading the southern border. They aren't coming here for the American dream. Possibly even imported by Democrats just for such an event to try to undermine Trump's policies. It is definitely a concerted effort by some entity, and for whatever reason, it won't be good for the nation.

I hadn’t thought of that

They talk with hatred for the US. Michelle Obummer spews lots of that, but who can take her seriously?

Sadly, I think you’re right.

Husband and I witnessed a Muslim praying in a parking lot in our travels. We certainly felt uneasy, wondering if this was going to precipitate bad activity. But, then I remembered that greater is He within than without, and prayed for the Lord's mighty protection.

Then, the Lord reminded me to pray for this individual as well, for their salvation.

While there are tough things happening, I'm strengthened and encouraged that the restrainer is still present and God's still working.

May many Muslims know true peace through faith and loving relationship in Jesus.

Leavitt Fumes, Demands ABC News Immediate Retract Its Report Claiming Iran Planning Drone Attack on California​

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday demanded that ABC News immediately retract its report claiming Iran is planning a drone attack on California.

Leavitt said ABC News provided “false information to intentionally alarm the American people.”

According to ABC News, the FBI warned California police departments that Iran may try to attack the US mainland with drones.

On Thursday, Karoline Leavitt fumed and demanded ABC News retract its drone attack report:
".....The email even states the tip was based on unverified intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story! WHY?
TO BE CLEAR: No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did"
