Seymour Hersh may not always get things right. He seems to have been mistaken about the Syrian gas attack, for example:

And his Nord Stream story is hard to corroborate given its dependence on an anonymous source:
https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/02/10/hersh-nord-stream-sabotage/
This isn't to say he's wrong, but since there is just one anonymous source we don't really know he's right either.
I would say he's correct, reaction of Germany and the farcical official investigations precisely point on perpetrator being USA.
I certainly wouldn't rule it out. I doubt we'll ever know for sure.
US crimes have a habit of coming in the light sooner or later, and this thing is big. We will know as soon as US grip on EU political groups will weaken.
