"Unnamed US and Israeli senior officials told news outlets late last week that the Quds Force, the external operations arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), plotted to assassinate Israeli envoy Einat Kranz Neiger beginning in late 2024 and remaining active into mid-2025. The plot was contained and does not pose a current threat, the officials said, without offering any evidence."
"Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs then released a statement thanking the Mexican security and law enforcement services for thwarting a terrorist network directed by Iran that sought to attack Israel's ambassador to Mexico. The Israeli security and intelligence community will continue to work tirelessly, in full cooperation with security and intelligence agencies around the world, to thwart terrorist threats from Iran and its proxies against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide, a ministry spokesman said."
Iran rejected accusations from the United States and Israel that it plotted to assassinate Israel's ambassador to Mexico, labeling the claim ridiculous and a great lie. Unnamed US and Israeli senior officials alleged the Quds Force, the external operations arm of the IRGC, planned an assassination beginning in late 2024 and remaining active into mid-2025, and said the plot was contained but offered no evidence. Israel thanked Mexican security services for thwarting a network said to be directed by Iran. Mexico denied any report of such an attempt and stated diplomatic ties remain uninterrupted. Iran's embassy in Mexico called the allegation a media intervention.
