A US journalist was mistakenly included in a group chat with defense officials discussing military strikes against Yemen’s Huthi rebels, as confirmed by the White House. President Trump announced the strikes on March 15, and the journalist received prior notice through the chat.

In an unexpected security incident, a United States journalist was mistakenly added to a communication group involving high-ranking officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, who discussed imminent military actions against the Huthi rebels in Yemen. The White House acknowledged this breach on Monday.

President Donald Trump declared these strikes on March 15. Notably, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that he received hours of prior notification regarding the planned military actions through the impromptu group chat on the Signal platform, raising significant concerns about information security protocols.

The incident presents a serious concern regarding security breaches associated with sensitive military communications. The inclusion of a journalist in a privileged discussion highlights vulnerabilities in information dissemination among high-ranking officials, necessitating a review of current communication protocols to prevent future occurrences.
