"The United States and Israel on Friday accused Iran of plotting to assassinate Israel's ambassador to Mexico, Einat Kranz Neiger. Israel said that Mexican authorities intervened to foil the alleged plot. "We thank the security and law enforcement services in Mexico for thwarting a terrorist network directed by Iran that sought to attack Israel's ambassador in Mexico," an Israeli Foreign Ministry statement said."
"News agencies, including AFP and Reuters, cited an anonymous US official as saying that the plot was initiated in late 2024 by the Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC). The US official said the plot had been "contained" and that there was no longer any threat. Iran and Israel are bitter regional adversaries and have waged a proxy conflict spanning multiple decades. A 12-day conflict between the two countries earlier this year ended in a ceasefire on June 25."
