U.S. President Donald Trump has responded after federal authorities warned about a possible plot linked to Iran that could target the American mainland.
The warning followed an internal alert circulated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation suggesting that Iranian operatives could attempt a “surprise” drone attack along the U.S. West Coast, potentially launched from a vessel offshore.
When asked about the threat, Trump said he was not concerned about potential attacks on U.S. soil, despite the growing tensions between the United States and Iran.
The alert reportedly came amid escalating conflict in the Middle East after U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iranian targets. Analysts say retaliation from Iran or its allies remains a key concern for American security agencies.
Officials clarified that the FBI bulletin was largely precautionary and did not identify specific targets or confirmed plans for an attack. Authorities often issue such alerts to ensure law enforcement agencies remain prepared for any potential threat.
Security agencies in several states, including California, have been advised to remain vigilant as they monitor intelligence developments.
Despite the warning, U.S. officials have emphasized that there is no confirmed imminent threat to the public at this time.
The situation underscores rising global tensions over the conflict and the potential risks of retaliatory actions beyond the immediate war zone.
