Intercontinental ballistic drone

Would a false flag attack work if the majority of Americans see through the shit we're already doing in Iran? This might split the country even further among party lines at worst.

And? What do you now?

they're trying to change americans' appetite for boots on the ground in iran; a pearl harbor like attack would galvanize americans to do so and the mossad has already been caught trying to do this in the middle east and it will be easier to do in the united states.

Well -

• They want regime change
• They profit from military contracting
• They profit from increased national debt
• They don't care about expending the lives of others

But Donny Dearest doesn't like Cali

Assuming it was actually Iran doing it, I think you'd have to assume it would be about logistics: perhaps that's the easiest dense civilian target for them to hit since the path east from Iran has fewer U.S. allies to intercept the drone. Though if you can hit the coast, going after targets in the PNW could cause more damage to the U.S. military.

If the Trump administration does this as a false flag, California could be a good target to garner support for the war.

You can just say FBI

While it was first intercontinental weapon it was, well, a balloon. Of 9300 launched only around 300 managed to cross the Pacific (and it was probably much less since we all know how Usians are about seeing flying objects and having wartime paranoia). Only one caused any human losses, killing 6 people in Oregon.
