Madrid, March 7 (AFP) Mar 07, 2026
Spain on Saturday got the last of its embassy staff out of Tehran, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced.

The Iranian capital was targeted again Saturday by Israel and the United States with a fresh barrage of air strikes.

"We have just finished successfully evacuating the Spanish embassy in Iran," Albares posted on 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, said Albares.

Official figures say there are less than 200 Spanish nationals in Iran.
