Security at the Oscars increased
Ahead of this year's Oscars, which will bring several high-profile names under one roof, security at the venue has been beefed up after the FBI warned California law enforcement about the possibility of a drone attack by Iran as the tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.
"Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran," according to the alert distributed at the end of February, as per ABC News.
