The Atlantic has published new messages from the secret NSC chat

On March 26, The Atlantic magazine published new messages from a secret group chat in the Signal messenger on the attack on the Houthis, where Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of the publication, was accidentally added.

According to the published screenshots from the chat, the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, sent information about the departure of American F-18 fighter jets 31 minutes before the start of the mission and two hours before the scheduled target destruction date.

Later, Mike Waltz, assistant to the American leader Donald Trump for national security, reported on the results of the strikes, saying that the first target was "their main missile guy." According to him, he entered the building, which was later destroyed. To this, US Vice President J. D. Vance replied, "Great," and CIA Director John Ratcliffe wrote: "A good start."

"If the information had fallen into the wrong hands, American pilots and personnel would have been in even greater danger," the publication noted.

The magazine reported that they decided to make the correspondence public based on its importance to the public, especially after the White House began to deny that the details of the strikes had been discussed in the chat.

The Atlantic also reported that White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt, in response to a request from the publication, stated that there was no classified information in the chat. In addition, she pointed out that Washington opposes the publication of correspondence.

Meanwhile, Politico newspaper, citing sources, indicated that US President Donald Trump was furious that Mike Waltz, the assistant to the American leader for national security, had a contact with the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine.

"Trump was furious and suspicious that Waltz had saved the number of The Atlantic's editor—in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg on his phone," the article says.

The activity of the United States will lead to an even greater rise in the price of black gold, but it is not a fact that Russia will benefit from this.

On March 25, Trump said he was not upset by the scandal over the leak of data on strikes in Yemen and considered the incident an "insignificant glitch." The American leader indicated that he continues to trust his national security aide, despite the leak of information from the officials' private chat.

The scandalous publication of the Atlantic magazine discussing attacks on the Houthis by the US administration became known on March 25. The editor-in-chief of the magazine stated that on March 11, he received a request to connect to Signal from a user under the nickname Mike Waltz. Two days later, Goldberg received a notification about being added to a group chat called "The Houthis are a small group." Then, on March 15, a user named Pete Hegseth posted a message that contained details of the upcoming strikes against the Houthis.
