Hersh’s article, published February 8, 2023, claims that during the BALTOPS 22 maritime exercise, U.S. Navy divers, operating under the cover of the exercise, planted remotely triggered explosives that destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, citing an anonymous source with direct knowledge of the operation.

Hersh approached Postol, now a professor emeritus of Science, Technology, and International Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while putting together the comprehensive article that claims that U.S. Navy divers were responsible for the deep sea planting of remotely triggered explosives that destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines.
