The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Mexico issued a statement firmly rejecting the accusations made by the United States and Israel regarding the foiling of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in Mexico.
According to a statement released by the Iranian embassy, “the claim that Iran attempted to assassinate the Israeli regime’s ambassador in Mexico is a major media lie designed to damage the friendly and historic relations between the two countries, and we categorically reject it.”
The embassy emphasized that Iran and Mexico share aligned interests, adding that the security of Mexico is the security of Iran. "We will never betray the trust that the Mexican government has placed in us.”
The statement further noted that Iran would never tarnish the good image of the Mexican people, describing any harm to Mexico’s interests as “harm to our own interests,” and reaffirming that respect for Mexican laws remains Iran’s top priority.
The embassy also dismissed allegations of antisemitism against Iran as “a major lie fabricated by the racist leaders of the Israeli regime.” It highlighted that Iran is home to more than 100 synagogues, all open to the public without the need for security guards.
The statement concluded by noting that during Israel’s attack on Iran in June, “not a single case of verbal harassment against the country’s large Jewish community was recorded.”
