California Gov. Gavin Newsom said state agencies are on alert for potential threats after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 21.

“Following the president’s action in Iran, California’s State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for any potential impacts in California,” Newsom said in a statement on X. “While there are no specific or credible counterthreats we are aware of at this time, we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.”
