The plan to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in Mexico was thwarted

  • The plan to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in Mexico has been thwarted.
  • According to reports, the operation was carried out by Mexican special services with support from the USA and Israel.
  • This incident is part of a broader strategy by Iran regarding attacks on foreign officials.

November 7, 2025 – Official representatives from the USA and Israel reported the thwarting of Iran's plan to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in Mexico, Eynat Krantz Neiger. According to American officials, the plan was developed in late 2024 and remained active until mid-2025, when it was successfully halted.

Mexican human rights advocates, with support from American and Israeli agencies, managed to prevent the execution of this plan. Officials who wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the information indicated that the threat was "contained" and has not become a danger at this time.

The Israeli Ministry of Internal Security informed Mexican security services about the stop of "the terrorist network, managed by Iran" that was planning to attack the ambassador. It is known that the plan was initiated by the "Quds" unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Officials also noted that this incident is part of a long-standing history of Iran's attempts to carry out attacks on foreign officials, journalists, and dissidents. Israel and Iran have been long-standing adversaries, and their relations have deteriorated following recent conflicts in the region.

It is important that this year, between Israel and Iran, military clashes took place, which ended on June 25, 2025. Iran traditionally supports various armed groups that fight against Israel.
