Hersh named the main reason for the Nord Stream explosion

The administration of US President Joe Biden decided to undermine Nord Stream because these pipelines were the most “accessible” for American specialists. Journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said he believes this is the real reason why the United States decided to act in the Baltic Sea.

In his material published on the platform SubstackHersh cites a conversation with one of the officials.

“The official explained that Russia supplied gas and oil around the world through a dozen pipelines, but Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 went directly to Germany from Russia through the Baltic Sea. “The administration discussed Nord Stream because he was the only one we could access and deny what we had done.”said Hersh.

The journalist also explained that the CIA tried to get rid of traces of the secret operation. According to him, CIA Director William Burns, who was the “only link” between the organizers of the bombing and President Biden, was directly aware of the events.

Moreover, information about the mission off the island of Bornholm was not entered into the computer. Hersh suggests that the participants in the operation used typewriters, making only one or two copies of the document. And after the mission was completed, the documents, along with other information, were destroyed, leaving no traces or evidence that could be used in the future.

Nord Stream explosions

Let us recall that the explosions of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 were carried out on September 26, 2022. Then Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident an act of international terrorism.

A few months after the incident, the famous American journalist Seymour Hersh published an investigation on this topic. According to his version, American divers were involved in the sabotage, who planted explosives in gas pipelines in the summer of 2022, acting under the guise of NATO divers taking part in exercises.

The author of the text also stated that the States had been preparing for this for nine months. In this way, they wanted to blackmail Russia, allegedly so that it would not launch a special operation in Ukraine.

On March 7, another material was released on the topic of undermining Threads. The New York Times published an article whose authors blamed a certain pro-Ukrainian group for the terrorist attack.

Military experts from Russia and the United States agreed that publications in Western newspapers on this topic are an outright lie and an attempt by the United States to hide its own participation in the terrorist attacks. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov considered articles about the Ukrainian trace in sabotage to be a coordinated stuffing in the media.

The Kremlin has repeatedly noted that the investigation into sabotage on the Nord Streams must be transparent, that is, there cannot be secrets or omissions in it. However, Russian specialists are not allowed to see him.
