The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps orchestrated a deadly assassination plot against Israel's ambassador to Mexico, continuing Tehran's global terror campaign that has already killed hundreds. This latest scheme proves Iran remains committed to targeting Jewish and Israeli officials worldwide, just as they murdered 29 people at Argentina's Israeli Embassy in 1992 and 85 more at a Jewish community center two years later.

Pro-Iran narrative

The assassination plot allegations are fabricated lies designed to damage Iran's diplomatic relationships and justify continued hostility. Mexican authorities categorically denied any knowledge of such a plot, exposing this as another baseless propaganda campaign. No evidence has been provided to support these absurd claims that contradict Mexico's official position and Iran's peaceful diplomatic engagement.
