The U.S. military had prior intelligence about the July 2025 West Coast tsunami and deliberately failed to act on it.

The claim that the U.S. military had prior intelligence about the July 2025 West Coast tsunami and deliberately failed to act on it lacks evidence. Reports indicate that the tsunami was triggered by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, and tsunami warnings were issued promptly by the National Tsunami Warning Center for the U.S. West Coast, including California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as Hawaii CNN. The U.S. military and other agencies took precautionary measures, such as issuing advisories and relocating ships, but there is no verified information suggesting prior knowledge or deliberate inaction Washington Post.
