Federal authorities reportedly warned law enforcement agencies in California that Iran had considered launching a drone attack from a vessel positioned off the U.S. West Coast. According to a report citing an FBI alert, the plan allegedly involved unmanned aerial vehicles targeting unspecified locations in California if the United States carried out military strikes against Iran. Officials say there is no information about specific targets, timing, or individuals involved. State officials say they are coordinating with federal agencies to monitor the situation.
