Governor Gavin Newsom has downplayed the alert, saying he is “not aware of any imminent threats at this time”
The FBI has warned the authorities in California that Iran has planned drone raids launched from an unidentified vessel off the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by US media outlets. Local officials, however, have cast doubt on the warning, saying it is unverified.
According to ABC News, the memo was distributed to California departments in recent days, though the contents first surfaced publicly on Wednesday.
The memo warned that in early February, Iran “allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California” in case of a US attack against the country.
