The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed that he was inadvertently added to a messaging chain with senior Trump administration officials discussing military plans against the Houthi group in Yemen. This breach of communication coincided with strikes on March 15 that purportedly targeted multiple Houthi leadership figures. National security spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed the authenticity of this messaging thread, noting its reflection of policy coordination among officials. The strikes were characterized as a significant response to Houthi provocations, emphasizing accountability towards Iran.
The Thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials, reflecting a coherent strategy against the Houthi terror group.
This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders and took them out, distinguishing it from previous attacks that proved to be feckless.
