Spain has evacuated its embassy in Iran, the country’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares posted on X Sunday evening.

“The ambassador and essential personnel who had stayed in Tehran have just crossed the border with Azerbaijan and are safe,” Albares wrote.

The rest of Spanish embassies in the region are still functioning and answering emergency calls, he added.

“The safety of our citizens and of the Spanish foreign service is my priority,” Albares wrote.
