California governor sees no imminent Iran threat despite FBI warning about a possible drone attack
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said drone issues “have always been top of mind.”
“We’ve been aware of that information. ... It’s all about a posture of preparedness for worst-case scenarios,” the governor said Wednesday.
The FBI recently warned police departments that Iran could try to strike the state.
“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,” the alert said, according to ABC News.
The FBI alert said it had no additional information. — AP
