The Atlantic releases full transcript of war discussions
Initially, The Atlantic hesitated to publish the full transcript.They feared national security risks. However, after further consideration, they released the complete conversation. The Guardian reported on the decision.
Goldberg and Shane Harris explained their reasoning. “There is a clear public interest in disclosing this information,” they wrote. “Senior administration figures are downplaying the significance of these messages.”
High-level officials allegedly shared military orders
They claimed all discussions were lawful. However, the leaked messages suggest otherwise. On social media, Brian Krassenstein shared the full chat log on X. The messages revealed details of planned airstrikes.
Defense Secretary Hegseth outlined specific attack orders. His message began with confirmation from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM):
“We are GO for mission launch.” He wrote.
Additionally, he also listed five separate strikes between 12:15 p.m. and 3:36 p.m. The message included details on aircraft used, primarily F-18s.
Hegseth ended his message with:”Godspeed to our Warriors,” was how Hesgeth ended his detailed plan, and JD Vance followed this up with “I will say a prayer for victory.”
Whle, officials celebrate a targeted killing. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz reported a successful strike on a key target. He described it in detail:
He wroete: “We had positive ID of [the target] walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.”
Vance replied: “Excellent.”
National security concerns over leaked messages
The Atlantic criticized the use of an unsecured chat for such discussions. They warned of potential risks to American forces.
“If this information—particularly the exact times American aircraft were taking off for Yemen—had fallen into the wrong hands, American pilots could have been in greater danger,” *The Atlantic* stated.
