National Security Advisor Mike Waltz faces uncertain future after a leak involving sensitive information regarding airstrikes in Yemen. An article by Jeffrey Goldberg revealed that Waltz inadvertently included him in a group chat about operational details of the airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels. The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the message chain and is investigating the mishap. Political analysts speculate Waltz’s position may be jeopardized as White House officials deliberate on his fate in light of this security breach, highlighting significant concerns over communication protocols among senior officials.
"What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing."
"A spokesperson for the National Security Council told Goldberg, This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain."
