California Could Be Attacked by Drones because of Iran War, Memo Warns. Officials Downplay Threat

Federal law‑enforcement agencies circulated a memo warning that Iran might launch surprise drone attacks on California if the United States escalates strikes against Tehran. The alert, based on unverified Coast Guard intelligence, was described by FBI officials as precautionary and lacking credible evidence. California’s Governor’s Office and local sheriffs have elevated readiness and formed work groups to monitor the threat. Officials across federal, state and local levels stress continuous information sharing despite the low‑confidence assessment.
