"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."
"According to one source who spoke to the LA Times, that intelligence originally came from the US Coast Guard, though any other details are few and far between. The papers' source, reportedly experienced in counterterrorism, said the memo has 'not been deemed credible at this time,' adding that there really isn't any proof the Iranian military could carry out a West Coast drone attack even if it wanted to."
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force circulated a memo warning of a possible Iranian drone attack on California using unmanned aerial vehicles launched from an unidentified vessel off the US coast. The intelligence, originating from the US Coast Guard, indicated Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack on unspecified California targets if the US struck Iran. However, a counterterrorism source stated the memo has not been deemed credible, noting insufficient evidence that Iranian military could execute a West Coast drone attack. California Governor Gavin Newsom indicated the state is taking drone threats seriously and has assembled work groups to address concerns. The warning follows the disappearance of four surveillance drones from Fort Campbell.
