Iran Dismisses US Allegations as 'Absurd Propaganda'
Iran has issued a strong rejection of United States allegations claiming that Tehran orchestrated a plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador to Mexico. The sharp denial came from Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, who labeled the American accusations as completely unfounded.
On November 10, 2025, at approximately 9:38 PM IST, Iranian officials broke their silence on the matter with Baqaei describing the claims as both 'ridiculous and absurd'. The spokesman accused Washington of deliberately spreading propaganda against Iran without providing credible evidence.
Details of the Alleged Assassination Plot
According to reports that prompted Iran's response, U.S. officials told CNN that Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force had planned the operation. The alleged plot involved recruiting agents through Iran's embassy in Venezuela to carry out the assassination of the Israeli ambassador in Mexico.
American authorities claimed they had successfully neutralized the plan before execution and assured the public that there was no continuing threat from the alleged operation. The timing and specific details about how the plot was discovered remain unclear from official statements.
International Reactions and Broader Implications
This incident marks the latest escalation in tensions between Iran and Western nations. Tehran's statement represents its first official response to the serious accusations, while Israel and its Western allies continue to express concerns about Iran's global covert activities.
The allegations come amid ongoing warnings from multiple countries about Iran's international operations. The involvement of Venezuela's diplomatic channels, if proven, would represent a significant development in understanding Iran's overseas operational capabilities.
As of now, no additional evidence has been publicly presented by U.S. officials beyond the initial claims. The situation continues to develop with diplomatic channels between the involved nations likely to see increased activity in the coming days.
