The Atlantic magazine has exposed detailed plans for US airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, unintentionally shared by top Trump administration officials. Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg received these plans via the messaging app Signal, marking a significant security breach.

Screenshots from a Signal chat group named “Houthi PC small group” show high-level discussions about the timing and specifics of the airstrikes planned for March 15. This was the first such attack under Donald Trump’s presidency, involving discussions about the types of planes to be used.

The chat group had 19 members, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Vice President JD Vance. Waltz acknowledged the error of accidentally adding Goldberg to this highly sensitive chat.

Following Hegseth’s public denial of texting war plans, The Atlantic published the screenshots. They argued that publicizing the texts would allow people to form opinions about the administration’s honesty and handling of sensitive information.

The chat also detailed the administration’s coordination efforts for the upcoming military actions, discussing notifications to allies and the sequence of events. High-level officials designated representatives for an immediate response group, emphasizing the urgent nature of the planning.
