Report: Iran's plot to assassinate Israeli ambassador

A United States official has revealed that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard orchestrated a plot to assassinate the Israeli ambassador to Mexico, Einat Kranz Neiger. The plan, active from late 2024 into 2025, was allegedly directed by Hasan Izadi, a senior officer in Iran's overseas operations, who used his diplomatic posting in Venezuela as a cover for lethal activities. Intelligence reports indicate Izadi traveled extensively across Latin America, building a network of informants and maintaining contact with allied groups.

Western agencies tracked the plot and contained the threat, with Kranz Neiger remaining safe in her role. The incident highlights a broader pattern of Iran's covert targeting of diplomats, journalists, and dissidents worldwide, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard implicated in several recent murder-for-hire schemes against high-profile figures, including attempts on former United States officials and outspoken critics of the Iranian regime.

Despite Iran's denial of involvement in these plots, court documents and intelligence reports detail payments and networks established to carry out such operations. The ongoing activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard continue to raise concerns among international security agencies and governments.
