More strikes ongoing for hours tonight, and will provide full initial report tomorrow. But on time, on target, and good readouts so far,” he said.The release of the messages appeared to undercut Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/politics/intel-officials-shift-responsibility-yemen-chat/index.html" target="_blank">testimony on Tuesday</a>, where she said it was to her knowledge that weapons packages, targets and timing weren’t part of the conversations in the Signal chat.Gabbard on Wednesday doubled down on the administration’s insistence that no classified information was shared in the now-infamous chat.“The conversation was candid and sensitive, but as the president, National Security Advisor stated, no classified information was shared,” Gabbard told the House Intelligence Committee. “There were no sources, methods, locations or war plans that were shared. This was a standard update to the national security cabinet that was provided alongside updates that were given to foreign partners in the region.”She also said Hegseth was ultimately responsible for deciding what in that conversation should or should not have been classified: “Ultimately, the Secretary of Defense holds the authority to classify or declassify.”Goldberg said on Wednesday the magazine decided to redact a sensitive piece of information out of their follow-up article.“We did redact one piece of information because we felt, on our own, that we felt it was best to do. And the CIA asked us, but, you know, at a certain point, the administration is saying that there’s nothing classified or secret or sensitive in these so at a certain point, I just felt, you know, let our readers decide for themselves,” he said on MSNBC of the decision to publish the rest of the information.</blockquote>
