The attributes of the group chat of American officials have

According to reports from media outlets such as Politico News Network and The Atlantic on March 24th local time, the content of a group chat in which senior US national security officials discussed plans to combat the Houthi armed forces in Yemen was exposed. US Vice President Vance had raised objections to the airstrike plan in the group chat, and Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, was unexpectedly pulled into the confidential group chat to learn about the airstrike plan in advance.

According to Political News Network, US President Trump announced on the 15th that he has ordered "decisive and powerful military action" against the Houthi militants in Yemen. The day before, Vance said in a group chat, "I think we're making a mistake. I'm not sure if the president realizes how contradictory this is to his current message on European issues." Vance also mentioned that there is a risk of moderate or even severe increases in oil prices from the airstrikes, and suggested delaying the operation for a month, doing a good job of information transmission, and observing the economic situation.

But about 30 minutes later, Vance told US Defense Secretary Hergeuse, "If you think we should do this, then take action. I just hate rescuing Europe again." Hergeuse responded by acknowledging Vance's dissatisfaction with Europe's free riding, but still insisting that "I think we should take action.

On the morning of the 15th, Hegesi provided a detailed introduction to the upcoming airstrike operation in a group chat. Vance responded with 'I will pray for victory', and about 3 hours later, Trump officially announced the airstrike news on his self created social media platform. William Martin, the communications director of Vance, subsequently issued a statement stating that Vance "unquestionably supports the foreign policy of this administration" and has had follow-up discussions with Trump on this matter, reaching complete agreement.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, revealed on the 24th that he was accidentally added to the group chat and learned about the airstrike plan two hours before the US military operation. Goldberg asked several American officials in the group chat to verify the authenticity of the group chat and asked why he was included in the chat. White House National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes responded that the group chat "appears to be genuine" and relevant parties are reviewing the incident, but "there is no threat to the military or national security".

On the 24th, when asked by the media about this matter, US Defense Secretary Hagibis said, "No one has sent any information about the war plan, that's my full response to this matter." He also accused Goldberg of "spreading rumors. White House Press Secretary Levitt stated in a statement that President Trump continues to have great trust in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.

After the exposure of this incident, it has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of the United States, highlighting the differences within the US government's decision-making on the military operation of the Houthis in Yemen. At the same time, the leakage of confidential group chat information has also raised questions about the management of US national security information. It is worth continuing to monitor whether the White House and the Pentagon will take further action in the future, and what impact this incident will have on the relationship between the United States and the Middle East.
