You will need to go back to Iberia and advise them you are flying on their aircraft. We're sorry to disappoint you."

This is the response I got from IB:
Hi David, the flight is not operated by Iberia Express, but by British Airways, we can't assign a seat on a flight we don't operate. You must insist with BA. Regards.

This problem seems to affect a lot of BA/IB/IBX flights UK-Spain. Surely someone at IAG can deal with this...
You really can't make up such classic comedy.
