At the end of last month, the FBI issued a confidential security bulletin to law‑enforcement agencies across the United States, warning that Tehran could retaliate for any U.S. military strikes on Iran by launching surprise drone attacks in California. The alert, disseminated through the multi‑agency Los Angeles Joint Regional Intelligence Center (LJRIC), underscores the growing concern over asymmetric threats posed by state‑backed non‑traditional armed groups.
According to a Reuters‑sourced report, the FBI’s bulletin specifically cautions that Iranian drones could be deployed from the Persian Gulf, targeting critical infrastructure, commercial hubs, and densely populated areas on the West Coast. While the exact capabilities and number of drones remain classified, analysts suggest that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force has been steadily modernizing its unmanned systems.
The warning comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, following a series of U.S. drone strikes in Iranian territory. Tehran’s leadership has repeatedly signaled that it will not hesitate to respond, citing the need to protect its national security interests.
Law‑enforcement agencies in California, along with federal partners, are now on high alert. The FBI’s guidance calls for enhanced surveillance of drone activity, rapid incident response protocols, and coordination with the Department of Homeland Security’s Counter‑Drone Task Force.
