WASHINGTON — Despite concerns by U.S. allies that ruptures of the Nord Stream pipelines were deliberate acts, the United States believes it is too soon to conclude there was “sabotage,” a senior U.S. military official said on Wednesday.

“The jury is still out,” the official said, briefing Pentagon reporters on the condition of anonymity. “Many of our partners, I think, have determined or believe it is sabotage. I’m just — I’m not at the point where I can tell you one way or the other.”
