"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. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack."
"A threat assessment issued by the Department of Homeland Security last week suggested that Iran and its proxies "probably" pose a threat of targeted attacks in the US, as Reuters reported. But, the agency said, a large-scale physical strike was unlikely."
"We are just 12 days into this war or conflict, as many in the Trump administration want to call it with Iran, and Tuesday marked the heaviest day of attacks so far within the country. Iran has continued launching missile and drone attacks at US allies across the Mideast region."
The FBI issued a warning to California law enforcement agencies in late February 2026 that Iran allegedly aspires to conduct surprise drone attacks from an unidentified vessel off the US coast, specifically targeting unspecified locations in California. This warning came amid escalating US-Iran military conflict, with Iran conducting heavy missile and drone attacks against US allies in the Middle East. The Department of Homeland Security assessed that Iran and its proxies probably pose a threat of targeted attacks within the US, though large-scale physical strikes were deemed unlikely. Governor Newsom's office characterized the FBI bulletin as routine among daily federal security updates received by the state.
