We have the FBI is warned that Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for the war.
The warning came in a bulletin that was sent to police departments in recent days.
that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast.
We recently acquired information 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 US homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.
We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators
of this alleged attack.
Obviously, a lot of hackles were raised at that one.
What exactly is going on here?
Is it a way to try and inspire fear in the American public in order to try and support some of what's going on right now?
with the war and local police and others, including those briefed on the matter.
Let's put F3, please, up on the screen.
LAPD sources, this is from Fox News, by the way, just to show you how little credence that even these people are giving it.
They say, I've talked to today, say there is not a known credible drone threat and this may fall under the general death to America umbrella.
So not really something that was worth, I think, a full-blown bulletin to the LAPD.
Let's think about logistics here, Crystal.
So the current range, I believe, of the drone would make it so that, what is it, like three to four times anything that is even in their theoretical maximal range for their longest range drone that they may have.
They would have to put it on a unmanned aircraft carrier, which would have to sail thousands of nautical miles to off the coast of California, California,
So via, you know, across various different sea channels and other things which are highly monitored.
And then it would have to take off from said aircraft carrier, unmanned carrier, allegedly, and then come and hit a site in California.
Just personally a little skeptical of that.
