US Signals a New Phase in the Campaign against Yemen, and Europe?

A serious breach of U.S. operational security has erupted amid a broader and intensifying military campaign in Yemen. Senior American officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accidentally shared classified information about ongoing strikes with a journalist via an unsecured Signal chat. This comes as the U.S. deepens its involvement in Yemen through Operation Prosperity Guardian, targeting Iran-backed Houthi militants responsible for disrupting Red Sea shipping lanes.

The breach, which exposed not only strategic details but also disparaging remarks about allies, has provoked bipartisan condemnation and global scrutiny. It highlights a growing gap between military escalation and internal governance discipline, with implications for diplomatic cohesion, regional conflict management, and U.S. strategic credibility.
