American journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the US authorities were considering the possibility of an explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline at the end of 2021.
Hersh stressed in an interview with China Daily that U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan was in contact with potential executors of the operation at the time.
Hersh added: “I believe the operation was requested from a certain group of people in 2021 before Christmas. This request was put forward by Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security adviser. The idea was one of the options – to blow up the pipeline.”
On September 26 last year, two gas pipelines exporting Russian gas to Europe, Nord Stream 1 and 2, were blown up, and Germany, Denmark and Sweden did not rule out that this was an act of planned sabotage.
It is noteworthy that the Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist Seymour Hersh published a report on the explosions at the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
In the investigation, Hersh pointed out that US divers planted explosives under pipelines during the NATO Baltops maneuvers in the summer of 2022, only to be activated by the Norwegians three months later.
