In a surprising group chat mix-up, a US journalist received unauthorized access to conversations between prominent American figures discussing potential military actions against Yemen’s Huthi rebels, as confirmed by the White House. The involved officials included Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and others, with US President Trump having publicized the strikes on the 15th of March. However, an alarming security lapse came to light when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, disclosed that he had been privy to detailed discussions within the group chat on Signal hours before the official announcement. FRANCE 24 correspondent Fraser Jackson brings you the details from Washington.
