The FBI reportedly warned California police departments in February that Iran could retaliate against the U.S., if it were to conduct strikes, by using drones aimed at the West Coast, according to an alert viewed by ABC News.
The alert, distributed at the end of February, told law enforcement that the FBI had “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 U.S. conducted strikes against Iran.”
US tells US that US might FAKE an Iran attack to justify more anti-freedom laws and pave way for martial law in October.
They might also brand it differently like, “freedom protection law,” but it’s assuredly identical.
I too found it interesting that “Iran” would target Trump’s most disliked state.
The vast majority of the Iranian diaspora is in California, and many of them are Pahlavists. I’d think that high concentration of Iranian immigrants would make it easier for an operative to hide within as well.
While I don’t trust the FBI, there are conceivable reasons why they’d target California.
