U.S. Blames Iran’s IRGC for Foiled Plot to Kill Israel’s Ambassador in Mexico

Officials say Mexican security disrupted the plan over the summer, but they have offered scant public evidence as assessments continue.

Overview

  • A U.S. official said the conspiracy began in late 2024 under the IRGC’s Quds Force and no current threat remains.
  • Israel publicly thanked Mexican authorities for dismantling an Iran-directed network targeting Ambassador Einat Kranz‑Neiger.
  • Reporting citing Axios says the IRGC’s Unit 11000 oversaw the operation and an agent recruited collaborators from Iran’s embassy in Venezuela.
  • The ambassador is safe and security around the diplomatic mission has been reinforced, according to Israeli statements.
  • Iran’s mission to the U.N. declined comment, and Mexico’s federal security ministry told Proceso it was unaware of the information when asked.
