Failed Iranian attempt" To assassinate the Israeli ambassador to Mexico
On Friday, American and Israeli officials revealed an Iranian attempt to assassinate the Israeli ambassador to Mexico, Inat Kranz-Neiger, a few months ago, but the plan was thwarted by Mexican security services. According to the officials who spoke to Israeli Channel 12, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was behind the plot, noting that “the attempted attack indicates that Iran operates a ‘terrorist’ infrastructure.” Widespread in Latin America, aiming to attack Israeli and American targets.”
The Americans believe that a large part of this activity is being managed from the Iranian embassy in Venezuela.
Channel 12 revealed: “The assassination plan began to unfold at the end of 2024, and was led by Hassan Izadi, an agent in Unit 11000 of the Quds Force within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Izadi previously worked from the Iranian Embassy in Venezuela, where he recruited and operated agents in the region. Attempts to carry out the assassination continued throughout the first half of 2025, before they were foiled last summer. A senior US official said: “The plot has been thwarted, and it does not currently pose a threat.”
He added: “This is just the latest example in a long history of assassination attempts carried out by Iran around the world against diplomats, journalists, dissidents, and anyone who does not agree with it – something that would raise deep concerns in any country where there is an Iranian presence.”
An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “Israel thanks the security services.” And law enforcement in Mexico for thwarting a terrorist infrastructure operating under the direction of Iran to harm the Israeli ambassador to their country.
