California governor sees no imminent Iran threat despite FBI warning about possible drone attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom seeks to downplay the recent FBI warning about a potential Iranian drone attack.
“We’ve been aware of that information,” the Democrat says. “It’s all about a posture of preparedness for worst-case scenarios.”
The FBI warned police departments before the war that Iran could try to strike the US state.
“Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” the alert said, according to ABC News.
The FBI alert said it had no additional information.
