California Gov. Gavin Newsom says there's no imminent threat to the state from Iran. ABC News says the FBI has warned California that Iran could send drones to the West Coast in retaliation for war. President Donald Trump was asked about it Wednesday at Joint Base Andrews. He says, “It's being investigated.” Newsom says California and various agencies plan for worst-case scenarios. Police in Los Angeles and San Francisco say they are monitoring world events for any risks to their cities.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is removing a rare slave ship timber from its “Slavery and Freedom” exhibit and sending it back to South Africa. On March 22, visitors will have their last chance to see the piece on display in Washington. The museum says the change follows a loan agreement that ends July 1. Staff members also cite conservation needs because the wood is fragile. The timber comes from the São José, a Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of South Africa in 1794. Researchers recovered the wreck in 2015. The museum plans to replace the timber with a cargo manifesto.
