Gavin Newsom Says No Imminent Threat To California Despite Warning About Possible Iran Drone Attack | EUROtoday

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom mentioned there was no imminent menace to the state, regardless of a warning from the FBI that Iran may ship drones to the West Coast in retaliation for conflict.

Newsom mentioned drone points “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 mentioned Wednesday.

The FBI just lately warned police departments that Iran may attempt 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 mentioned, in line with ABC News.

“We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,” the FBI mentioned.

President Donald Trump was requested about it Wednesday at Joint Base Andrews.

“It’s being investigated, but you have a lot of things happening. All we can do is take ’em as they come,” Trump mentioned.

Police in Los Angeles and San Francisco mentioned they had been monitoring world occasions for any dangers to their cities. Both mentioned they’re working carefully with state and federal authorities.
