Buttigieg Criticizes Trump Administration Over Leaked Yemen War Plans

A significant security breach occurred within the Trump administration when Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat where officials discussed plans for military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Pete Buttigieg criticized the incident as a 'highest level of f***-up imaginable,' calling for accountability from national security advisor Mike Waltz, who initiated the chat. Despite Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's denial of sharing war plans, the National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the message chain and is investigating how Goldberg was included. President Trump claimed ignorance of the situation, dismissing The Atlantic as 'not much of a magazine.' The leaked information reportedly included detailed operational plans, raising concerns about the security of communications among government officials. This incident highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining operational security within high-level discussions.
