US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior national security officials have been declared a major mistake in leaking the attack on the rebels’ locations in Yemen last month. US Security Officers have admitted that The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg accidentally joined a group chat used to coordinate airstrikes against the rebels without their knowledge. However, President Donald Trump and US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth have denied the leak of information.
Goldberg included in a group formed on ‘Signal’
Goldberg wrote in an article for ‘The Atlantic’ magazine that “US national security leaders involved me in a group chat created on military attacks in Yemen. I didn’t know this could be true. Then the bombs began to fall. According to the Atlantic story ‘The Trump Administration Taxed Me Ets War Plans’ published on Monday, he was added to the group by someone who identified himself as President Donald Trump’s NSA Michael Waltz.
‘I just knew about the attack 2 hours ago’
According to Goldberg, the group’s conversation includes “details of the upcoming strike on Yemen, which includes information about the sequence of weapons and seizures deployed by the United States.” These include messages from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vence and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Goldberg claimed that he was aware of the attacks and bombings in Yemen two hours before government officials announced the messages received in the group chat.
Goldberg said, “If the information contained in them was read by the US opponent, it can be used to harm US military and intelligence personnel, especially in the Middle East, which is in the field of responsibility for the Central Command,” Goldberg said. Earlier this month, the US army launched an invasion of the rebels, a terrorist organization, from Iran -backed Hu in Yemen. Hughes have stopped international maritime trade for more than a year.
The National Security Council broke his silence
Meanwhile, US defense department officials have handed over the matter to the National Security Council. NSC spokesman Brian Hughes acknowledged in a statement that the message thread appeared to be authentic. They said they were investigating how to mistake the phone number. Hughes said the negotiations focused on “full and thoughtful policy coordination among senior officials”, however, he maintained that there was no risk to US troops or national security amid the continued success of the ongoing operation against the rebels.
What rules of America were ignored?
Goldberg may have been involved in the group chat accidentally or deliberately, but officials are believed to have violated the rules regarding sensitive data, classified military information and government records. According to Goldberg, senior leaders expressed concern over Trump’s Middle East approach and regretted the inaction of European allies in the area. In addition, he said that Hegseeth assured people about privacy in the group despite using the open source platform and inadvertently involved in the journalist.
