A journalist was mistakenly added to a closed Signal chat with the US president\u2019s administration<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Atlantic\u2019s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg said<\/a> he found himself included in a Signal group chat where members of the US administration discussed bombing the Houthis in Yemen.<\/p>\n
The exchange contained details of the forthcoming strikes, including a list of targets, weapons and the expected time of the attack. According to Goldberg, it matched the timing of the first official posts about the operation on social media.<\/p>\n
Participants included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, US vice-president JD Vance and others.<\/p>\n
Officials confirmed the chat was real, though the Pentagon later tried to persuade<\/a> the public that war plans were not discussed in the messenger. The journalist was likely added by mistake due to a similar abbreviation<\/a> in a nickname.<\/p>\n
Soon after authorities claimed there were no secrets in the messages, The Atlantic published the exchange in full here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
