A momentous revelation was made today (07.11.2025) by an American official to Reuters, on condition of anonymity, after claiming that the Iran that he planned to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico.
In particular, the US official argued that in this way Iran could transfer the conflict with Israel to another region, away from the Middle East.
“The plan has been foiled and is currently not a threat,” a US official said, adding that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards were the ones who planned to assassinate Einat Kranz Niger.
As the same source pointed out, the plan to kill her was active from the end of 2024 until the first half of 2025, and now there is no threat to the Israeli ambassador.
«The conspiracy has been dealt with and is not a current threat“, the official told Reuters. “This is just the latest in a long history of worldwide lethal targeting of diplomats, journalists, dissidents and anyone who disagrees with them by Iran, which should deeply concern every country where there is an Iranian presence,” he said.
The official declined to say how the assassination plot was foiled or to provide more details about the operation. Iran’s UN mission in New York declined to comment.
The US and its allies have often claimed thatIran and its proxies have sought to launch violent attacks against Tehran’s opponents.
Security services in Britain and Sweden warned last year that Tehran used criminal proxies to carry out violent attacks in these countrieswith London saying it had prevented 20 plans linked to Iran by 2022.
Other countries have condemned what they have described as an increase in assassination, kidnapping and harassment schemes by Iranian intelligence services.
Britain’s counterintelligence chief, MI5 director-general Ken McCallum, said last month that Iran has been “feverishly” trying to silence critics of the Iranian regime around the world and pointed out that Australia had uncovered Iran’s involvement in anti-Semitic plots and Dutch authorities had uncovered an assassination attempt.
Israel has long been a target of the Islamic Republic, particularly after Israel’s war with Iran, during which US bombers struck Iranian nuclear facilities in June.
