High officials from the Trump government may have been responsible for an unprecedented security gap. They discussed attack plans in Yemen in a chat, a journalist read all the time.
It is a story that you don’t read every day: High officials from the government of US President Donald Trump may have been responsible for an unprecedented vulnerability. How to discuss plans for one Attack on the Huthi militia in Yemen, which started a week agoapparently in a chat on the platform signal and not on an official, safe channels. But that’s not all: You may have mistakenly added a journalist to the chat who lies all the time.
The US magazine « The Atlantic » reports on Monday. The journalist in question is the editor -in -chief of the magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg. In the text with the title: « The Trump administration accidentally sent me its war plans via SMS, » he describes the events. Accordingly, he thought for a long time that it was a deliberately created fake group to mislead him.
But in fact the group turned out to be real, which was later confirmed by the government side. She was created by Donald Trump’s national security advisor Michael Waltz. Among the group members were Vice President JD Vance, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio as well as other cabinet members and high -ranking government officials. In his article, Goldberg describes the exchange between those involved – with exact times, original quotations and partly informal tone. According to the report, both military tactics and political communication around the attack and the best time for the attack on the Huthi militia were discussed.
Goldberg writes, for example, in the text: « I waited in my car in a supermarket car park. If this signal chat was real, I thought, Huthi goals would soon be bombarded. Around 1:55 a.m. I checked » X « and searched for Yemen. Then there were explosions in all of Sanaa, the capital. «
When the first explosions were reported, Goldberg was finally convinced that the entertainment was real – and not a fake. He left her a little later. According to his report, there were no questions about his presence. The spokesman for the National Security Council, Hughes, tried to reinterpret the breakdown, and argued that the incident was « evidence of the intensive and well thought -out political coordination between high -ranking government officials ». However, he also announced an internal exam.
