NAIROBI/DOHA - Djibouti cut diplomatic relations with Iran on Wednesday, its foreign minister said, in response to the storming of the Saudi embassy in Tehran by Iranian protesters.
The tiny Horn of Africa nation, which is home to the United States' only military base on the African continent, joins Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Sudan in entirely severing relations with Shi'ite Muslim Iran.
"Djibouti cut its diplomatic ties with Iran out of solidarity with Saudi Arabia," Foreign Minister Mahamoud Ali Youssouf told Reuters in a text message.
