California Gov. Gavin Newsom says there's no imminent threat to the state from Iran
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- 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.
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.
