The White House on Monday announced that it accidentally shared the Yemen war plan with a journalist.
The Trump administration officials mistakenly announced a war plan in Yemen in a message group shortly before the US started an attack on the Iran -backed Houthi group in Yemen. This time a journalist was also present. This revelation has raised questions on the functioning of some officials of the White House. Democratic MPs have demanded a fair inquiry into the entire case. Democratic MPs strongly criticized the leaks of important information in this way and said that leaking important information in this way is a violation of US national security and law. Investigation by Parliament is necessary. Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of The Atlantic, said he was inadvertently involved in the invitation on the signal messaging app on 13 March.
Plan disclosed before attack on Houthi community
On March 15, US President Trump launched a military operation to attack a huge extremist group in the Red Sea on 15 March, but the plan was revealed by White House officials to journalists a few hours earlier. Iran was warned not to support the Hothis. A few hours before the attack, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released a plans for an attack in a message group, with the target of the attack, the description of the weapons used by the US and the order of attacks. This exposed signal chat and negligence of some officials. According to American law, leaking such important and confidential information is a crime.
