The response follows after abc news published that the FBI had alerted California police departments about a potential Iranian retaliation for US-Israeli strikes against Iran. According to the report, Iran may have attempted to launch drone attacks on the West Coast of the United States. White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, strongly denied the accusations, stating there was no such threat.
Leavitt declared, “abc news is spreading false information.” She asserted that the entire story should be withdrawn immediately because abc news was deliberately attempting to unsettle the American public with false information. Leavitt added that the text was based on an email sent to local police departments in California referencing an unconfirmed lead. “The excerpt clearly indicates that this is unverified intelligence, but abc news omitted that crucial detail from its story.
Why?” she wrote. Leavitt emphasized that there was no threat to American territory. “To be absolutely clear: there is no threat from Iran for our territory and it never existed,” she stated.
This post and story should be immediately retracted by abc news for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip.
