A group chat involving senior Trump officials mistakenly included The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, revealing sensitive discussions about an imminent military strike on the Houthis in Yemen. The communication was marked by concerns over the operation’s timing and implications for national security.

On March 11, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, accidentally received a connection request from Michael Waltz, purportedly the National Security Advisor at the time. After accepting, Goldberg was added to a group chat titled “Houthi PC Small Group,” where senior Trump officials discussed military plans for an impending strike on the Houthis in Yemen. Many are labeling this incident a significant breach of national security.

This security lapse highlights a troubling risk in the communication methods of senior government officials during sensitive military discussions. Despite the reassurances regarding operational security, the open dialogue revealed critical information that could have jeopardized the safety of U.S. personnel abroad. Observers are calling for tightening of protocols to prevent future occurrences.
