The Atlantic Reveals Trump Administration’s Classified Attack Plan Shared on Signal

The Atlantic has disclosed details of a classified U.S. attack plan that was mistakenly shared in a Signal chat involving top Trump administration officials. The incident came to light when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat where military plans for an attack on Yemen’s Houthi rebels were being discussed. During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe denied any classified information was shared. However, according to The Atlantic, the chat included precise operational timelines and weapon details. The White House expressed opposition to publishing the full texts, citing sensitivity. Messages revealed specific times for airstrikes and drone deployments, raising concerns about national security risks if such data fell into the wrong hands. Despite official denials, significant public interest remains regarding how sensitive communications ended up in insecure channels.
