In a revealing article published on Monday, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, disclosed significant details surrounding the Trump administration’s military operations. He reported that high-ranking officials within the administration unintentionally included him in a secure texting channel that outlined vital strategies for air strikes targeting Houthi rebel positions in Yemen on March 15.
Goldberg, an experienced journalist with a reputation for investigative reporting, described how he received real-time updates about the planned military actions just hours before they were executed, raising serious questions about operational security. The U.S. government has since confirmed the authenticity of the messaging thread, which has stirred considerable controversy.
Critics of the Trump administration are now accusing senior officials of committing a serious breach of national security protocol by disclosing such sensitive information to an outside party. This incident underscores the complexities and risks involved in military communications and the potential consequences of lapses in protocol.
