FBI alerted California law enforcement to brace for potential Iranian drone strikes in retaliation for U.S. war | 11 March 2026 | The FBI alerted California law enforcement to potential Iranian drone strikes on the West Coast in retaliation for the U.S. war against the Islamic Republic. “Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran,” the alert obtained by ABC News said. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,” the FBI update continued. The alert surfaced as the Trump administration continued its sustained offensive against Iran. This move follows a pattern of escalation in the Middle East, where the regime in Tehran has used drone warfare as a primary tool for retaliation.
