The White House declared that “the incident is closed,” and said it has moved from recent debates over the false sharing of war plans over the commercial messaging app’s signals.
Spokesman Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that measures have been taken to ensure Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg violated a group chat about the planned US strike of Houthis in Yemen. However, she did not elaborate on the measure.
Leavitt said the US was “moving forward,” and her statement appeared to end speculation that national security adviser Mike Waltz, who invited journalists to chat, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegses, who shared sensitive information, would be punished.
Democrat, Madeleine Dean, has accused Republicans of showing “weak thinking” by diverting them from the “dull” of the so-called Signalgate controversy.
“The mistreatment of the Trump administration’s sensitive military plans was a phenomenal failure,” she wrote in a social media post. “The Republicans were left to ‘what did they do?’ It’s time for accountability. ”

“It’s true pain coming”
As the White House was about to close the embarrassing chapter, US President Donald Trump updated the threat to the Houches by targeting attacks on Israeli and the Red Sea transport lanes that were made in support of Gaza, promising to be “harder and stiffer.”
Houthi leaders have denied claims that their abilities have been degraded by the attack, saying the strike only managed to kill civilians and administrators.
“The choice for Houthis is clear. Stop filming on US ships. We’re going to stop filming for you,” Trump said in a social media post. “Otherwise, we’re just starting out and the real pain hasn’t come yet for both the Housis in Iran and their sponsors.”
Iran responded to Trump’s previous message that if it fails to reach a nuclear weapons trade, it would face heavy US bombardment.
“They are threatening to attack us, and I don’t think that’s much of a thought, but if they commit a mischief, they will certainly be hit hard and mutually beating,” said Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his allies, Israel.
On Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that Swiss diplomats handed over “warning notes” to the US to “act as guardians of US interests,” emphasizing a “solid and immediate resolution” to “hostile conduct.”
“There are no specific progress.”
According to sources cited by Reuters and Axios, Trump will be discussing a variety of topics to visit Saudi Arabia in mid-May, including Russia’s three-year-old war, the war in Gaza and investment.
Saudi Arabia recently hosted consultations via the US aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, but it seemed like Russian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy was aiming for the prospect of a ceasefire as he declared emplaint thraw for Russian Pee Pealemay to declare emplaint Trump to declare emplaint Trump to declare sight the nbc. leader.
Trump added that if he was unable to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine and Russia decides to take responsibility, he would impose a 25% secondary tariff on all Russian oil.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a comment carried by the Russian interfax media on Monday that Moscow is “working on implementing certain ideas related to Ukraine’s conflict resolution,” but “no concrete progress has been made.”
Peskov also said Putin is still open to talking to Trump, and according to a Tass news agency, the conversation could be “arranged if necessary.”
Attending a meeting of European foreign ministers in Madrid to discuss the conflict, French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barott said he owed a clear response to the United States on whether Russia wants to pursue peace.
