SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 California Gov. Gavin Newsom said there was no imminent threat to the state, despite a warning from the FBI that Iran could send drones to the West Coast in retaliation for war.<\/p>\n
Newsom said drone issues \u201chave always been top of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve been aware of that information. … It’s all about a posture of preparedness for worst-case scenarios,\u201d the governor said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The FBI recently warned police departments that Iran could try to strike the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cIran 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,\u201d the alert said, according to ABC News.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,\u201d the FBI said.<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that the message to law enforcement was a tip based on \u201cunverified intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did,\u201d Leavitt said Thursday.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump was asked about it Wednesday at Joint Base Andrews.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s being investigated, but you have a lot of things happening. All we can do is take \u2019em as they come,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
Police in Los Angeles and San Francisco said they were monitoring world events for any risks to their cities. Both said they\u2019re working closely with state and federal authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 California Gov.
