YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Atlantic released the transcript of a group chat between top US officials on Signal that inadvertently included its top editor, revealing how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of timing and weapons systems to be used in attacks against militants in Yemen.
The transcript included a text message from Hegseth to the full group — which included Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and others — giving precise times for two waves of US attacks against the Houthis, featuring details of what weapons system would be used.
The magazine said it had come to believe that “people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions” after President Donald Trump and other officials including Hegseth and Waltz played down the severity of the incident. It was Waltz who had apparently added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat — dubbed “Houthi PC small group” — before the attacks by mistake.
