The FBI distributed an alert to California law enforcement in late February 2026 warning that Iran allegedly aspired to launch a "surprise attack" using drones from an offshore vessel against unspecified targets in the state, in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli military strikes. While multiple officials have deemed the intelligence "not credible" and "uncorrelated," the warning has triggered heightened security measures across the state — including at the upcoming Academy Awards — and renewed scrutiny of America's homeland counter-drone defenses amid a rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East.
