The White House announced, on Wednesday, that the operations against the Houthis in Yemen will continue, after senior officials in the US administration participated in the mistake of military plans on the Houthi strikes in a collective conversation on the Signal application that includes a journalist.

The White House confirmed that the conversation did not include secret information, and that US President Donald Trump puts his confidence in the national security team.

Caroline Levit, a spokeswoman for the White House, explained that the Segenal application is accredited and loaded on government phones in the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CIA (CIA).

The White House indicated that National Security Adviser Michael Waltz bears responsibility for a group conversation about the Houthi attack.

American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of the "Atlantic" magazine, said in a report that Waltz added it unexpectedly on March 13 to a coded chat group on the Segel messaging application, to coordinate the American move against the Houthi group in Yemen because of its attacks on the shipping movement in the Red Sea.

Screen shots (Screen Shot) published by The Atlantic magazine showed that Defense Minister Beit Higseth sent a text message that included the time of the killing of a Houthi militants in Yemen on March 15, along with details of more American air strikes that are usually very secret.

In mid -March, Trump announced that he had ordered the army to launch strikes on the Houthi group in Yemen in response to the group's attacks on ships in the Red Sea, warning it against the consequences of not stopping its attacks.

Trump warned Iran, the main supporter of the Houthis, of its continued support for the Houthis, saying that if Iran threatens the United States, “America will hold you a full account, and we will not be kind in this regard!”

The Houthis launched dozens of attacks on ships starting in November 2023, saying that this comes in solidarity with the Palestinians during the Israeli war on Hamas in Gaza.

During that period, the group flooded two ships, detained another, and killed at least four sailors in attacks that led to the confusion of global shipping, as companies forced to convert their flights into a longer and more expensive track around South Africa.

The Houthis threatened last week that they would resume their maritime attacks if Israel does not retract from the prevention of the entry of aid to Gaza within four days.

Trump re -classified the group as a foreign terrorist organization with the aim of imposing more economic sanctions in response to its attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and American warships that defend the important maritime area.
