Report: Iran Could Launch Drone Attacks Against California

Well, this is confusing, considering how many politicians and Comrades in the People’s Republik Of California support the Iranian regime

California could be attacked by drones because of Iran war, memo warns. Officials downplay threat

Law enforcement agencies across California were recently warned that the Iran war could lead to a surprise drone attack in the Golden State, but sources told The Times on Wednesday there’s no credible intelligence to support it.

In a memo sent to agencies that are part of a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force, the government said, “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.”

A source with knowledge of the memo who was not authorized to discuss it publicly said the warning was issued based on intelligence received by the U.S. Coast Guard. Law enforcement sources experienced in intelligence said such alerts are cautionary in nature.

The source is experienced in counterterrorism and said “that it’s not been deemed credible at this time.”

It’s credible enough to generate warnings and articles in California news outlets. But, yeah, it mostly like would never happen, since it would require Iranian ships to cross the Indian Ocean, then the Pacific Ocean with pretty much no support before launching.

“While we can’t discuss sensitive details, Californians should know that this kind of coordination happens every day to keep people safe,” a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services said in a statement. “California is prepared to protect its communities, and we’ll continue working closely with our federal partners.”

State officials would not comment on the memo but said that state, local and federal agencies were continually sharing information about threats and security efforts.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials would not comment on the memo, but in a statement said the department was continuing to operate at an “elevated level of readiness and is maintaining increased vigilance.”

It’s nothing, but, we can’t discuss it. I have to wonder what Californians would do if they were attacked, though. Would they root for America against Iran, or, Blame America/Trump/Israel?
