Spain got the last of its embassy staff out of Tehran, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced on Saturday, as the Middle East conflict entered its second week.
The Iranian capital was targeted again by Israel and the United States with a fresh barrage of air strikes on Saturday.
“We have just finished successfully evacuating the Spanish embassy in Iran,” Albares posted on social media platform X.
“The ambassador and essential staff who were still in Tehran have just crossed the border into Azerbaijan and are safe,” he added.
Other embassies in the region and the foreign ministry’s crisis room were staffing emergency lines around the clock, Albares said.
Official figures say there are less than 200 Spanish nationals in Iran.
