US EditionIran Says US Claim on Plot to Kill Israeli Ambassador 'Absurd'
Iran calls assassination claims 'absurd' and denies threat to Israeli ambassador, while Mexico denies knowledge and Israel credits local security for foiling the plot.
- On Monday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei dismissed the assassination allegations as fabricated, saying `We found this claim very ridiculous and absurd`.
- On Friday, US and Israeli officials alleged the Quds Force planned an attack beginning in late 2024 that remained active until mid-2025 and was stopped earlier this year, while Israel thanked Mexican authorities for thwarting the network.
- Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanked Mexican security and law enforcement services for thwarting a terrorist network directed by Iran, while Mexico's foreign ministries said they had no report or information.
- Tensions have escalated since mid-June when relations between Iran and Israel grew strained after Israel's bombing campaign, and a ceasefire has been in place since June 24; Australia also accused Iran of orchestrating two arson attacks and expelled Tehran's ambassador.
- So far, no public evidence has confirmed the alleged conspiracy, though Western reports name Hasan Izadi and mention Unit 11000, while Mexico's denial remains unaddressed by US officials.
