According to a bulletin reviewed by ABC News , law enforcement agencies in California were warned in recent days about the potential threat.
“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,” the alert said.
“We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”
Officials have not revealed which sites could have been targeted or how a drone-carrying vessel might approach the US shoreline.
