FBI sounds alarm as Iran plots surprise retaliatory drone strikes on US soil: report

By Nicole Charky-Chami
Published March 11, 2026 3:52 PM ET

The FBI has warned California law enforcement that Iran could retaliate against American strikes by launching drones on the West Coast of the United States, including locations in California, ABC News reported.

The outlet said it had reviewed an alert showing the warning from recent days.

“We recently acquired information that 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 United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” according to the alert late February.

We are living on the down side of the technology curve where asynchronous warfare has become more effective at low cost.

I am not sure we are ready for low cost drones that can be launched from non-descript ships and fly under the radar until it is too late.

We're probably all the same to most foreigners. Sure, some might get into the differences between one state and another, but a few years ago when I was in France they weren't asking me what state I was from, just that I was an American.

Iran has also been hitting Middle East countries left, right, and center - Including the countries that were negotiating on their behalf to prevent US military strike or are otherwise historical allies.

Even with the people of California being politically aligned to oppose the invasion, Iran has shown that it's perfectly content to attack and kill their own supporters.

They’re so bad at this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Whisky Pete accidentally leaks the false flag plan over the internet.

I hate and despise these motherfuckers with the intensity of a thousand suns.
