Mexico’s foreign relations and security ministries issues a brief joint statement saying that “they have no report with respect to a supposed attempt against the ambassador of Israel in Mexico,” after the US and Israel accused Iran of plotting to assassinate the Israeli envoy to Mexico City.
The foreign ministry “reiterates its willingness to maintain fluid communication with all accredited diplomatic representations in our country,” the statement says. The security ministry “reaffirms its respectful and coordinated collaboration, always within the framework of national sovereignty, with all security agencies that request it.”
Iran’s embassy in Mexico meanwhile denies the Islamic Republic plotted to assassinate the Israeli ambassador.
“It is a media invention, a great big lie, whose objective is to damage the friendly and historic relations between both countries (Mexico and Iran), which we categorically reject,” Tehran’s embassy in Mexico posts on X.
