John Kirby Denies Allegation White House Blew Up Nord Stream Pipelines

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby categorically denied a report claiming the United States sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines last week, saying “there is no truth” to the reporting from longtime journalist Seymour Hersh.
Earlier this month, Hersh cited an anonymous source for his report claiming it was the U.S. government that destroyed a section of the pipelines that run between Russia and Germany, adding that Washington had planned the destruction of the system since before the Russia–Ukraine war broke out. The Russian government has since called for investigations into the matter.
When asked about Hersh’s claims during a Fox News interview, Kirby said that “the United States and no proxies of the United States had anything to do” with the pipeline blasts. There was no U.S. involvement in this. None. Zero,” he added, saying it was a “completely false story.”…}
