The United States has accused Iran of plotting to assassinate Israel's ambassador to Mexico, in an attempt by Tehran to shift the conflict between the two countries to another part of the world.
The Revolutionary Guards plan was thwarted and currently poses no threat, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The plot is just the latest in a long history of worldwide lethal targeting of anyone who disagrees with them, the US official said.
Security services in Britain and Sweden warned last year that Tehran was using criminal proxies to carry out attacks in those countries, with London saying it had foiled 20 plans linked to Iran in the past three years.
