Gavin Newsom confirmed federal authorities issued a warning of a potential drone strike in California from Iranian offshore vessels and said state officials are collaborating with local law enforcement to protect residents. pic.twitter.com/kl2kD4Wfbj — SFGATE (@SFGate) March 11, 2026 What do you make of it?
