Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the American edition of The Atlantic, happened to be in a group where the administration of Donald Trump discussed the details of the attacks that were to be inflicted on the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The journalist claims that he knew about the attack carried out by the US military on March 15, "two hours before the explosion of the first bombs," as reported by Hotnews.
"I found out about this because Pete Hegseth, the Minister of Defense, sent me a message with a war plan. The plan included accurate information about the arms packages, targets and deadlines," Jeffrey Goldberg told The Atlantic.
Goldberg claims that he had "very strong doubts" when he was introduced to a "small group of Houthi politicians," and he consulted with his colleagues, "because I could not believe that the US national security leadership would report plans for an imminent war."
The group consisted of 18 people, including US Vice President J. D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Talsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Lee Ratcliffe.
