Iran plotted to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico, but the plan was disrupted earlier this year, according to two U.S. officials and an Israeli official.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched the assassination plot against the ambassador, Einat Kranz-Neiger, at the end of 2024 and it remained active through the first half of this year, the two U.S. officials said.

“The plot was contained and does not pose a current threat,” said one of the U.S. officials, who shared information about the plot on condition of anonymity. “This is just the latest in a long history of Iran’s global lethal targeting of diplomats, journalists, dissidents, and anyone who disagrees with them, something that should deeply worry every country where there is an Iranian presence.”
