The SRE (Mexican Foreign Ministry) has evacuated a group of 18 Mexicans from Iran to nearby Azerbaijan. There is a Mexican embassy in each of those countries, which enabled them to carry out the evacuation, which occurred on June 18th, 2025. The bombing war between Israel and Iran is the reason for their evacuation.
Here is a map of the relevant countries: Mexico, Israel, Azerbaijan, and Iran. Azerbaijan is north of Iran on the landlocked Caspian Sea:
Here’s a photo of most of the evacuated Mexicans:
Also on the 17th, the SRE released a tweet on Twitter/X which said “…the Mexican embassy in Israel maintains permanent communication with the Mexican community and continues providing information about possible departure options from the country to those persons who have requested, always putting their safety first. Additionally, assistance and coordination with other Mexican embassies in the region, Jordan, and Egypt continue to verify the operational availability of overland departures from Israel. Commercial flights remain closed. The SRE will continue offering consular protection to fellow Mexicans in the Middle East at all times.”
And just to cover all the bases, the SRE tweeted this message on the 17th:
This message says that the SRE continues offering assistance to Mexicans already in the Middle East but says Mexicans shouldn’t travel there now. It contains the phone numbers of Mexican embassies in Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.
