Here is more about the potential Iranian drone strike on the US mainland we reported earlier.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has confirmed federal officials recently warned Californian police about a potential retaliatory drone strike by Iran on the US West Coast.
“As it relates to drone strikes, we have been aware of that information,” he said.
“We have been working collaboratively through the (SOC), which we established right after the war began — the State Operations Centre.
“Working with the Office of Emergency Services, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received.”
The warning, first reported by ABC News in the US, comes from a federal intelligence memorandum circulated to law enforcement agencies in California late last month.
According to the alert confirmed by multiple sources, US federal authorities “recently acquired information” suggesting Iran had considered the idea of using drones launched from an unidentified vessel off the US coast.
