The recent documents published regarding the leak of the US’s secret war plans show that officials shared confidential information in the Signal group.

The repercussions of the scandal that emerged after a journalist was mistakenly added to the Signal group where secret plans about Yemen attacks were discussed in the US continue. Following the defense by US officials in the Senate Intelligence Committee that “no confidential information was leaked” from the Signal conversation group, The Atlantic, who first reported the news, published all the secret conversations this time. The Atlantic revealed that in a message titled “TEAM UPDATE” by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, he shared the times of the attacks and many details about the operation. In the messages released by Hegseth, it is seen that geographical information, the location of militants, and the weapons used are openly shared. While the Pentagon did not provide any information about the attacks, it also did not offer any details about the operation. Hegseth stated that these attacks were a great success and emphasized that the attacks were effective.WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

Democratic senators in the US harshly criticized senior national security officials in the Trump administration, including US Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, for sharing military operation plans against the Houthis in Yemen in a message group where The Atlantic magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added during a Senate session. White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, describing the allegations as “exaggerated,” claimed that war plans were not discussed in the message group. US President Donald Trump initially said he “knew nothing about” the claims, then in his subsequent statements, he claimed that no confidential information was shared and supported National Security Adviser Michael Waltz by saying, “Michael Waltz learned a lesson, he is a good person.”
