The Atlantic just published all of the messages from the signal chat. archive.ph/ta6gH
A screenshot of a messaging group named "Houthi PC small group" with 19 members. The group was created one week ago, and a disappearing message time of one week is set. The image shows a message from Michael Waltz stating that they are establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthi-related matters over the next 72 hours. He mentions that his deputy, Alex Wong, is forming a "tiger team" at the deputies/agency Chief of Staff level to follow up on a Sit Room meeting from that morning. He adds that action items will be sent out later in the evening.
A screenshot of a group chat where Michael Waltz informs the team that they should have a statement of conclusions with taskings based on presidential guidance. He discusses notification lists for allies and partners and mentions the Joint Staff will provide a sequence of events. JD Vance expresses concerns about the impact of the decision, citing economic risks and potential inconsistencies in messaging. Joe Kent adds that there is no urgency in the timeline and that Israel may act first. John Ratcliffe, from a CIA perspective, suggests that delaying the decision could help refine intelligence on Houthi leadership.A continuation of the group chat where Pete Hegseth acknowledges concerns but argues for decisive action to restore freedom of navigation and deterrence. He warns that waiting could lead to leaks or Israel taking preemptive action. Michael Waltz follows up with trade statistics, explaining that European navies lack the capability to counter Houthi threats and that the U.S. would need to intervene eventually.
A screenshot of a group chat discussing the decision to reopen or keep sea lanes closed. Michael Waltz states that the U.S. is the only country with the capability to manage the situation and emphasizes the need for Europe to invest in its defense. JD Vance responds to Pete Hegseth, agreeing to proceed but expressing frustration over bailing out Europe. He also stresses the importance of tight messaging and minimizing risks to Saudi oil facilities. Pete Hegseth shares his frustration over European reliance on the U.S. but supports moving forward with the decision, noting that POTUS still retains 24 hours for a final decision. S.M. adds that while the president has given the green light, the U.S. should clarify its expectations from Egypt and Europe in return, suggesting that economic gains should be extracted for restoring freedom of navigation. Pete Hegseth agrees.
