Summary
An FBI advisory about a potential Iranian drone concept off the California coast was circulated to multiple law enforcement agencies, only to be downplayed by the White House hours later. The advisory, which referenced unverified intelligence, was shared with California state officials and local law enforcement agencies. The White House Press Secretary criticized the coverage, saying there was no verified threat to the US homeland. Experts say the advisory was likely precautionary, and the concept referenced is not entirely imaginary, but executing such an operation would be complex.
