America blows up Nord Stream pipeline in 2022 Secret operation: America's top journalist

The September 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream submarine gas pipelines was carried out by the United States in a covert operation claimed by Seymour Hersh.


The September 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream submarine gas pipelines was carried out by the United States in a covert operation, Seymour Hersh, an American investigative journalist and political writer, told ANI. Their research has been published on Substack.

"On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance aircraft undertook what appeared to be a routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal propagated underwater, first to Nord Stream 2 and then to Nord Stream .

Explosives were detonated and three of the four pipelines were rendered inoperative.Within minutes, lingering puddles of methane gas could be seen in the closed pipes, spreading across the surface of the water, and the world learned that something irreversible had happened in ," Hersh said in his findings.

Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, said the order to damage the pipelines came after more than nine months of top-secret debates within Washington's intelligence community.

In addition, the investigative journalist shared that NATO and Washington considered Nord Stream 1 to be quite problematic, but the completion of Nord Stream 2 in September 2021 raised concerns with the US government about cheap gas flowing to Germany and Western Europe," said Hersh.

Also note that the US saw Europe's dependence on Russian gas as a risk to supporting Ukraine, given that countries like Germany may not be willing to contribute the necessary funds and weapons. Meanwhile, American houses and media treated it as unsolved mystery.However, the Biden administration has dismissed the claims in the Pipeline bombing report, calling them "completely and utterly false fiction."
