Since the arrival of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Iranian authorities have sought an approach with that of Mexico, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) columnist Mary Anastasia O’Grady revealed yesterday.

“A reliable intelligence source tells me that Iran has been approaching Mexico,” the text says.

The column exposes the influence of the Iranian regime in Latin America amid the rearrangement of power in Iran, following the death of its main military command, Qasem Soleimani, in a US attack earlier this year.

According to O’Grady, the approach to Mexico responds to the pattern that Soleimani followed in the Quds Force, Iran’s military arm.

“The death of this terrorist mastermind is a message to those in the region that host their networks,” says the columnist.
