Donald Trump responded to an FBI warning that Iran could be preparing for a “surprise attack” in unspecified locations in California, in the United States.
The warning, issued in late February, said the US agency had “acquired information” that suggested Iran “aspired to carry out a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles” in retaliation if Trump went ahead with strikes against the Middle East.
After orchestrating the operation Epic Furya joint US-Israeli campaign that killed the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei On February 28, Trump addressed the threats while speaking to reporters in Washington DC last Wednesday night (11).
He said the threat is “being investigated, but you have a lot of things going on and all we can do is take them as they come,” said Trump, who added that Iran “is being absolutely decimated, that’s all I can say.”

Gavin NewsomGovernor of California, also addressed the FBI’s warning about a possible retaliatory attack by Iran in the state during a press conference yesterday, admitting that there was a “critical” threat.
“Issues with drones have been the most important. We are aware of this information, we have been working in collaboration with the [Centro de Operações do Estado],” Newsom said, adding that he has not yet discussed the threats with President Trump.
“I haven’t spoken directly to the president about this and I would like the president to speak to the American people about what this is all about, what the end game is?” he added to reporters.
