Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth firmly defended military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen in response to a report highlighting a potential leak of sensitive information. The report, authored by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, revealed that he inadvertently received information due to being included in a sensitive group chat. Hegseth, during a press interaction, criticized Goldberg’s credibility, asserting that the leak did not come from legitimate channels and reaffirmed the U.S. military's commitment to its operations in Yemen after years of challenges under previous leadership.
Hegseth dismissed Goldberg’s credibility, calling him a 'deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist' while asserting the military's ongoing commitment to the campaign against the Houthis.
Hegseth claimed that the U.S. military had been managing with limited resources for years, criticizing the previous administration while emphasizing the current strategy to defeat the Houthis.
