Israel Tries To Frame Iran Again — But Someone Didn’t Play Along

Israel and the US - inexplicably - have tried it on with Iran AGAIN. Only this time they needed a third and they didn't play ball... Right, so the US and Israel are at it again. Another Iran plot. Another shadowy network. Another whisper of nefarious forces moving pieces across borders like a bad spy novel. Iran, they said, had tried to have Israel’s ambassador in Mexico assassinated. Bold claim. Presented like settled fact. Then Mexico walked in, told them to stop being so wet, and rubbished the claim completely. No reports whatsoever, they said. No investigation. No alert. Mexico didn’t argue. Mexico didn’t posture. Mexico didn’t even slow down. It just said there was nothing there. No file. No case. No attempt. Stop telling tales. The story didn’t fail because Iran pushed back. It failed because the place it was supposed to have happened refused to entertain the notion. Why, when matters between Israel and Iran have largely calmed down, is Israel and Trump trying it on again, especially in regards to a supposed event on the other side of the planet? Desperation just doesn’t seem to be a big enough word. Right, so they said Iran tried to have the Israeli ambassador in Mexico assassinated. The line presented as fact, delivered like something already proven. A senior US. official saying the Quds Force was behind it. Then more detail appeared, about recruitment routes, about intermediaries, about movement through Venezuela. So you’re trying to implicate them to now are you? Two birds with one stone is it? It’s the kind of detail that sounds like evidence if you’re not paying attention. But there was no investigation shown. No arrest. No intercept. No document. Just a claim stated with confidence, and the expectation that confidence would be enough. The old voice of power assuming the room would nod along with them. Then Mexico answered. And the room didn’t nod. It stopped. The Secretariat of Foreign Affairs didn’t hesitate. Didn’t soften. Didn’t defer. They said there were no reports whatsoever of any attempt. No case file. No alert. No joint operation. Nothing. The Secretariat of Security backed the statement without pause. Two agencies. Same line. Same finality. Mexico rejected the story wholesale.
