<p>Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth slammed The Atlantic on Wednesday over its reporting on a Signal chat group where he gave updates to top administration officials that inadvertently included a journalist from the publication about the United States&#8217; recent military strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.</p>
<p>Hegseth made the remarks while addressing reporters from a tarmac in Hawaii where he was visiting U.S. forces as part of a larger trip to the Indo-Pacific region, where the administration is currently working to counter a rising Chinese threat.</p>
<p>Hegseth said that the attacks against the Houthis have been &#8220;devastatingly effective&#8221; as the military campaign now enters its second week.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody&#8217;s texting war plans,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Well, I noticed this morning out came something that doesn&#8217;t look like war plans. And as a matter of fact, they even changed the title to attack plans because they know it&#8217;s not war plans. There&#8217;s no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths, no sources, no methods, no classified information.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know who sees war plans? I see &#8217;em. Every single day. I looked at them this morning,&#8221; he said while indicating that he believes that there is a difference between &#8220;war plans&#8221; and &#8220;attack plans.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that his role in the Signal group chat was to &#8220;provide updates in real time, general updates in real time, keep everybody informed.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what I did. That&#8217;s my job,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The war fighters will take the fight to the enemy, and I love what they do. And with President Trump&#8217;s leadership, our enemies are on notice. We will have peace through strength, and we&#8217;ll keep putting our troops first.&#8221;</p>
