Wie is wie in chatschandaal Signal

By Jordi Bou

March 26, 2025 - The Atlantic magazine has published the full text chain from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth detailing operations to carry out U.S. military airstrikes in a Signal chat group after the White House denied “war plans” had been shared.

In an extraordinary national security breach, U.S. secret plans to strike Houthi rebels in Yemen were shared by senior officials in a group chat on the Signal app that included a journalist; The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg,

In a new report Goldberg has revealed what Hegseth told the "Houthi PC Small Group" on March 15 before the U.S. conducted airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthi sites and during the operation.

The report includes screen shots of the group texts, which detail drone targets, sequencing of the attacks and the type of weaponry used.

Signal app gives users the option to set messages to disappear after a specified period, which could potentially violate record-keeping laws.
