Overview
- The FBI bulletin to California law enforcement said Iran aspired as of early February to launch UAVs from an unidentified offshore vessel against unspecified targets in the state.
- The memo provided no details on timing, methods, targets or perpetrators, and California has raised readiness while saying there is no imminent threat.
- A DHS intelligence assessment judged a large-scale attack in the U.S. unlikely but warned Iran and its proxies likely pose persistent targeted and cyber threats.
- In Iraq, British forces shot down two Iranian ‘suicide’ drones after a base was hit, with no UK casualties and light U.S. injuries reported.
- Regional strikes on ships and energy sites persist as Mojtaba Khamenei vows to keep the Strait of Hormuz shut, oil prices rebound to about $100, and countries plan a record 400 million‑barrel strategic release.
