FBI Warned West Coast Police Departments Of Potential Iran Strikes
The FBI warned California police departments of Iran potentially striking the West Coast on Wednesday.
An alert distributed to departments by the FBI stated that the agency had “recently acquired information” that the Islamic Republic of Iran “aspired” to launch an attack on targets in California, ABC News reported Wednesday.
“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,” the alert stated, “in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.”
“We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,” the alert reportedly added.
The Daily Caller News Foundation was unable to reach the FBI for a comment.
I am in constant coordination with security and intelligence officials, including at @Cal_OES, to monitor potential threats to California — including those tied to the conflict in the Middle East.
While we are not aware of any imminent threats at this time, we remain prepared…
