Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted in the chat:

“TEAM UPDATE: “TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.”

Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently added to a group chat on the Signal messaging app, on Monday published an account of officials accidentally leaking what he called “war plans” to him.

Following blowback from administration officials about the wording of his article, Goldberg on Wednesday released them for the public.

White House responds to new Atlantic article

In response to Goldberg’s newest piece, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on X pointed to the newest article’s shift in headline wording from “war plans” to “attack plans.”

“The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT ‘war plans.’ This entire story was another hoax written by a Trump-hater who is well-known for his sensationalist spin,” Leavitt said.

Vance shared a similar sentiment, saying in an X post that “Goldberg oversold what he had.”

“No locations. No sources & methods. NO WAR PLANS. Foreign partners had already been notified that strikes were imminent. BOTTOM LINE:  President Trump is protecting America and our interests,” Waltz shared on X.

Counselor to the president Alina Habba told reporters on Wednesday that the story and its fallout is a “distraction.”

“It is what it is,” Habba said. “This is, in my opinion, something that they’re making a big to do about nothing.”
