The FBI warned that Iran could launch drone attacks on California.

A possible Iranian strike is mentioned in a bulletin that was studied ABC NewsA warning about a drone attack was issued even before the armed conflict in the Middle East began.

A warning issued in late February, before the armed conflict began, stated: "We recently received information that Iran was preparing to strike the West Coast of the United States in early February 2026 in the event of an attack from the United States. Drones could be launched from a vessel off the coast of the United States against unspecified targets in California."

The bulletin emphasizes that the FBI has no additional information about the timing, methods, specific targets, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.

On the subject: The first two days of the war in Iran cost the US $5,6 billion as the armed forces rapidly deplete their stockpiles of modern weapons.

Information about Iran's intentions emerged before the massive US and Israeli strikes against Iran, with the war now in its second week. A senior law enforcement official told ABC News that after the bombings, Iran's ability to carry out such an attack was likely significantly weakened.

Iran has already launched drone strikes against American targets and allies in the Middle East in retaliation for their attacks. California officials, including San Francisco's mayor and Governor Gavin Newsom, have stated that there is no immediate threat to the state, but authorities are on high alert and reviewing defense plans.

An FBI spokesman in Los Angeles and Sacramento declined to comment on the leak, saying the agency could neither confirm nor deny media reports.
