**Washington, D.C.** – A major security breach has exposed sensitive US military plans for attacks against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The plans, including real-time communications between high-ranking officials, were inadvertently leaked via a Signal group chat that included *The Atlantic*’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. The magazine published excerpts of the chat on Wednesday.
The leaked messages, allegedly from March 15th, detail the planning and execution of the attacks. Participants in the chat reportedly included Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and individuals purportedly identified as White House Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The conversation included specific details such as the targeting of a Houthi missile expert. One message described the successful targeting of a building, stating, “The first target – their top missile guy – we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.”
President Trump attempted to downplay the incident, referring to the leaked texts as “not a big deal.” However, the revelation has sparked significant concern over national security and the potential compromise of sensitive military operations. The incident raises serious questions about the security protocols used by the highest levels of the US government for sensitive communications. Investigations into the leak are expected.
