US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared information about the US air raids on Yemen in the second personal group of the signal app, and the BBC’s US partner CBS confirmed the source familiar with the message.
The message sent on March 15 included the flight schedule of the American F/A-18 Hornets, which strikes on the HOUTHI goal. The group included HegSeth’s wife, brothers and personal lawyers.
This development occurs a month after a separate signal group to discuss sensitive information about US military operations.
In a statement on the New York Times, which first reported the second group, the White House said the White House was not shared.
HEGSETH’s wife Jennifer is a former Fox News producer and does not take a formal position within the Pentagon. HegSeth was previously accused of including his wife at a meeting with a foreign leader.
His brother Phil and personal lawyer Tim Parlatore is in charge of the Pentagon. However, it is not clear why one of the three needs a high -end warning for a sensitive US strike plan.
According to the New York Times, the second signal group called “Defense | Team Hudle”, unlike the first signal group, was created by HegSeth.
The presence of the initial signal group was accidentally included by Jeffrey Goldberg, an editor of Atlantic Magazine. The officials used the Roy group to discuss information related to Yemen’s strike.
The White House denied that the critics of HEGSETH, including former US defense officials, were discussed about the information classified in the group. They say that if you discuss such information in the signal group, you can endanger US employees who perform military operations.
The presence of the second signal group is the latest debate surrounding the head of the Pentagon, and this year, it controls the budget of $ 89.2 billion (67 billion pounds).
Last week, HEGSETH fired three top officials with “unauthorized disclosure.”
John Ullyot, a former Pentagon spokesman, who resigned last week at OP-ED of Politico Magazine, published on Sunday, wrote that this department is in “Total Chaos”.
ULLYOT said, “Functional disorders are now great for the president.
But in a statement on X, Sean Parnell, a spokesman for the Department of Defense, accused Trump’s disliked media for destroying the devoted to President Trump’s agenda.
He revered the White House by saying, “There is no classified information in the signal chat.”
Washington said in Yemen that the strike is a punishment for the HOUTHI attack on the cargo ship that passes the Red Sea, an important number for international trade.
Since November 2023, HOUTHIS has aimed at dozens of merchant ships with missiles, drones and small boat attacks in the Red Sea and Aden Bay. They settled two ships, seized one -third, and killed four crew members.
HOUTHIS supports the Palestinians in the Gaza and Hamas War, and often claimed false.
According to Houti-Run Health Ministry, the US raids were killed by more than 74 people and 171 employees were injured this week. The HOUTH-LEG government said the attack formed a “war crime.”
