California Faces Uncertain Drone Threats

The FBI sent a note to California police about possible drone attacks from Iran. The memo said that, as of early February 2026, Iranian forces might try to strike California if the U. S. hits Iran first. Law enforcement officials who saw the memo say it is unverified information. California Governor Gavin Newsom said there is no immediate danger. He told reporters that he stays in touch with security teams about Middle‑East risks. The governor added the state is ready for any emergency, even though no threat has been confirmed. President Donald Trump said the government is looking into the claim.He acknowledged many events are happening at once and that they will handle each as it comes. When asked about Iranian sleeper cells in the U. S. , Trump said he has been briefed. The memo comes amid a wave of warnings to U. S. companies and agencies about Iranian cyber attacks. The Department of Homeland Security warned that after the death of Iran’s leader, some religious figures called for revenge. This could raise threats from extremists who support the Iranian regime. Officials say the FBI is on higher alert after U. S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran. They are tightening security around energy sites, government buildings, and borders to stop possible attacks.
