A clandestine Iranian unit has a warning for United States politicians, after using drones to buzz the homes of War Department chief Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s homes. Those in power in the U.S. “will no longer be safe anywhere in the world,” Iran threatened.
Multiple drones have buzzed Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, DC, within the past ten days, according to three Washington Post sources familiar with the matter. The sightings come after the US and Israel assassinated numerous top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has promised a “decisive” response to what it described as illegal attacks.

Following Khamenei’s killing, the elite Quds Force within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which specializes in clandestine ops, warned that US and Israeli officials “will no longer be safe anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes.”
The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28th, killing several high-profile rulers in the country. Tehran immediately responded with attacks on U.S. assets in the Middle East.
A senior administration official told the Washington Post, as reported by RT, that the military is increasing surveillance due to the heightened security risks, adding that the sightings triggered a White House meeting and led officials to consider relocating Rubio and Hegseth. WaPo sources, however, claim that both remain at the base.
The Iran war also sparked similar warnings to the authorities in California, though Governor Gavin Newsom insisted he was not aware of any imminent threat. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the statement, saying “no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell declined to comment on the Iranian drone threat, saying that any reporting on the secretary of war’s movements “is grossly irresponsible.”
