A US journalist was mistakenly included in a group chat where top officials discussed military strikes against Yemen’s Huthi rebels, leading to a serious security breach as confirmed by the White House. Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic received advance notice of the strikes announced by President Trump.

The White House confirmed on Monday that a journalist inadvertently received classified information regarding planned military strikes on Yemen’s Huthi rebels. This breach occurred when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and other high-ranking officials engaged in discussions via a group chat on the encrypted messaging platform, Signal. The incident revealed that Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, had several hours of advance notice about the strikes announced by President Donald Trump on March 15.

This incident highlights significant concerns regarding security and the potential for unauthorized exposure of sensitive military operations. The inclusion of a journalist in a classified discussion raises questions about information management within the government and the need for stricter protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
