FBI warned of potential Iranian drone attack on US West Coast - ABC News
The FBI warned police departments in California that Iran could retaliate for US strikes by launching drones at the US West Coast, ABC News reported, citing an alert sent to law enforcement agencies.
The alert said Iran had allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the US coastline targeting unspecified locations in California if the United States carried out strikes against Iran, according to the report.
“We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,” the alert said, according to ABC News.
The warning was distributed to law enforcement agencies at the end of February, the report said.
