U.S. federal authorities have issued a warning about a potential Iran drone threat West Coast, alerting police departments across California that Iran may attempt to retaliate for recent U.S. military strikes by launching offensive drones toward the region.
According to a federal alert, the FBI warned California law enforcement agencies that Iran could potentially attempt a drone attack targeting areas along the West Coast.
