An FBI advisory referencing an unverified tip about a potential Iranian drone concept off the California coast circulated to multiple California law enforcement agencies — only to be forcefully downplayed by the White House hours later.
The advisory, distributed through federal security channels, referenced intelligence suggesting Iran had "aspired" to launch unmanned aerial systems from a vessel offshore. The email did not identify specific targets, dates or operational details.
After reports about the advisory surfaced publicly, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized the coverage.
"This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people," Leavitt wrote.
She said the reporting was based on "one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip," adding: "No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did."

I would hate to be in charge of security for the Oscars on Sunday.
Maybe they could Zoom the Oscars. 🙂
Why do we even have the Oscars? It’s just a bunch of a** kissing within the industry.
Orchestrated fear porn.
Yes. Self aggrandizing award show.
I expect many to wear lapel pins supporting Iran.
Umm, the Oscars went totally woke years ago. Why would Iran do humanity the favor of taking out a bunch of commie trash?
Funny as ‘Ell, but I doubt it.
As to the total issue, I call BSHitte. This is something that Newscum would go on about when complaining how DJT is putting all of America at risk.. Like J6.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. Disgusted, but not surprised.
Maybe this was started by Democrats trying to show Gavin Nobrain is more than capable of handling any problems that arise as having him for Prez.
It’s a Mutual Admiration Society.
While it is possible to launch a drone from a vessel off the coast it would not be very smart. I wouldn’t want to be on the vessel that did that. Their life-expectancy would be very short. Not that that would influence them though.
Actually rust-bucket launched drones are very practical, as the latest incarnation of “Q ships”.

Granted, they are useful only in *high risk-high reward” attacks. Budget “attacks on Pearl Harbor.”
I was saying to my wife, “Most of us would look at that and say, ‘Yeah…I get that.’” The left would lose their minds.
