U.S. and Israel accuse Iran of a thwarted 2024–2025 assassination plot against Israel’s Mexico ambassador, which Iran denies.

The U.S. and Israel accused Iran of planning a 2024–2025 assassination attempt on Israel’s ambassador to Mexico, Einat Kranz Neiger, allegedly orchestrated by Iran’s Quds Force and linked to retaliation for an Israeli strike on Iran’s Damascus embassy. The plot was reportedly disrupted by Mexican security forces, though Mexico’s government said it had no prior knowledge. Iran denied the claims, calling them false. The U.S. described the effort as part of a broader pattern of Iranian global targeting of diplomats and dissidents. No casualties occurred, and the threat is now considered contained.
