The FBI has issued a warning regarding a potential Iranian plot to launch kamikaze drone attacks against targets in California. According to intelligence reports, the planned strike would involve launching drones from an unidentified vessel off the U.S. coast. This alleged operation is reportedly a retaliatory response to 'Operation Epic Fury,' a joint U.S.-Israeli military action against Iran. The warning, issued in late February 2026, has heightened concerns over national security and direct threats to the U.S. mainland. Financial markets are reacting to the increased geopolitical risk premium, which typically triggers a 'risk-off' sentiment among investors. Consequently, assets such as Gold and WTI Crude are seeing upward pressure, while U.S. equity indices like the SPY face potential volatility.
