Tensions Over the Intelligence Leak

A significant security breach occurred when a journalist was unintentionally included in a group chat of top U.S. officials discussing imminent military strikes against Houthi positions in Yemen. This incident sparked outrage among both Democrats and Republicans, prompting calls for investigations and accountability.

The situation raises serious concerns about transparency and professionalism in handling sensitive national security matters.
