After denials from US President Donald Trump, the White House, & several top officials claiming no classified information was shared in the messaging group discussing plans for an attack on the Houthis in Yemen on15th of March, The Atlantic has published the full text of the chats, including screenshots. These revelations show that very discreet details, including the exact times US aircraft were departing for Yemen, were shared more than 2 hours before the bombing began.
The article elaborates that this information, specifically the precise timings, could have put American pilots and other personnel in "even greater danger" had it fallen into the wrong hands. Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor in Chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added to the Signal messaging group where the bombing plans were being discussed among themselves.
The group reportedly included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Antonio Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, & others.
The Atlantic explained its decision to release details of the chat in a new report on Wednesday, noting that Hegseth had claimed "nobody was texting war plans," while Trump and others gave opinion "it wasn't classified information."
The article which was written by Goldberg and staff writer Shane Harris, described the dilemma faced by The Atlantic. The magazine had withheld specific details in a previous report regarding weapons and the timing of the attack, following its usual practice of not publishing information about military operations that may endanger US personnel.
