The FBI has issued warnings to law enforcement agencies in California about a potential threat from Iran, according to an alert reviewed by ABC News.
The alert indicated that Iran could retaliate against American attacks by launching drones along the West Coast.
“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 States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” the alert stated as per the news outlet. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,” according to ABC News.
Context of the threat
The warning comes amid the Trump administration’s ongoing military campaign against Iran. Iranian forces have responded with drone strikes across the Middle East, escalating regional tensions.
“While there is no specific timing or confirmed method, the alert underscores the possibility of Iran striking within the continental United States,” the news outlet reported.
