Hegseth endangers security by sharing Yemen strike details— Pentagon IG
(MENAFN) The Pentagon’s internal oversight office has determined that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “created risks to operational security” by posting sensitive information about upcoming strikes on Yemen’s Houthi movement in a Signal group chat, according to general reports.
One report said the inspector general concluded that Hegseth’s Signal messages “could have resulted in failed U.S. mission objectives and potential harm to U.S. pilots,” referencing accounts from individuals familiar with the classified findings.
A full classified assessment has been delivered to the Senate Armed Services Committee, while a public, trimmed version is expected to be released on Thursday, according to general descriptions.
The inquiry focused on Hegseth’s use of the encrypted app earlier this year, when officials within the Trump administration were discussing operational schedules for the planned strikes.
The Pentagon has not provided immediate comment on the matter.
