The Atlantic has published the full Signal chat between top U.S. security officials after a journalist was mistakenly included in the group.
The Atlantic has published the full Signal chat involving senior U.S. national security officials after a journalist was accidentally added to the group.
The conversation centered on planned strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, intended to reopen trade routes along the Suez Canal.
The new information includes a thread of messages apparently written by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in which he shares specific timings of U.S. strikes in Yemen with officials — and inadvertently with The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg.
U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who created the chat, took full responsibility for the incident and described it as an embarrassment.
Hegseth stated that the information shared was not classified, as it did not include specific locations, routes, or methods.
Despite this, some Democratic lawmakers have criticized Hegseth, calling him unqualified and demanding his resignation.
