The Embassy of Iran in Mexico stated that the accusation of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Israeli regime's ambassador in Mexico is a media invention, a great lie. The diplomatic office added that the objective of this claim is to damage the friendly historical relations between Mexico and Iran, which we categorically reject. The embassy noted that Iran and Mexico have identical interests. "The security and reputation of Mexico are also the security and reputation of Iran. We will never betray the trust that the government of Mexico has placed in us," the statement read. Furthermore, it expressed that they will in no way harm the good image of Mexicans, "our friends." "We consider that betraying the interests of Mexico is betraying our own. Respecting the laws of Mexico is our utmost interest." The embassy also described the accusation of antisemitism against Iran as a great lie fabricated in the minds of racist Israeli leaders. "In Iran, there are more than 100 synagogues, all open to the public without the need for security guards. During the Israeli aggression against Iran in June, not a single case of verbal harassment was recorded against the large Jewish community living in the country."
