Hassan Izadi, operating under the alias Masoud Rahnema, has been identified as the individual who led an effort to assassinate Israel's ambassador to Mexico, Einat Kranz-Neiger, according to new details released November 7th, 2025. Izadi, formerly the second attaché at the Iranian embassy in Venezuela, utilized his diplomatic post as a cover for terrorist operations and maintained contact with Hezbollah operatives. During his tenure in Caracas, Izadi established a network of informants and facilitators across Latin America, traveling through Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. The Quds Force, central to Iran's military and foreign intelligence strategy, reportedly plays a role in these operations, exerting influence in regions including Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. These revelations follow earlier reports on November 7th, 2025, that Mexican security services had foiled the plot against Ambassador Kranz-Neiger. The timing of the specific plot within last summer remains unconfirmed. The Quds Force's involvement highlights its significant role in Iran's global intelligence and military endeavors. Separately, on November 7th, 2025, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam reiterated his government's plan to collect weapons south of the Litani River, aiming to disengage Lebanon from Iran and mend relations with Arab nations. Concurrently, Iranian President Afsar Pazkhian affirmed Iran's commitment to its nuclear and missile programs on the same day.
