In a dramatic revelation, authorities from Mexico, assisted by intelligence agencies from the United States and Israel, successfully disrupted an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Israeli ambassador to Mexico. The thwarted conspiracy underscores the persistent global threat posed by Iranian operatives.

The plot, reportedly initiated at the end of last year by Iranian agents, was aimed at Israeli Ambassador Einat Kranz Neiger. According to unnamed U.S. officials, the plan was active through mid-year before being contained.

Meanwhile, an official diplomatic response from Mexico emphasized collaborative security efforts, despite their public denial. The United States reiterated its commitment to countering international plots by Iran.
