Djibouti bars US from using its bases to strike Houthis

Djibouti's information minister stated the US may keep its base but will not be allowed to conduct strikes on Houthi targets from Djiboutian territory. This is a notable policy deviation from Djibouti's historical hosting of US and other foreign bases, potentially complicating US military options in the Red Sea region. The statement is a direct government position, though its operational impact remains uncertain.
