Africa’s US base exposed to Iran threat - BBC Africa

As tensions rise in the Gulf and Iran targets US military bases, have you heard about this one in Djibouti? Camp Lemonnier, the US’s only permanent base in Africa, sits near the Bab el-Mandeb strait - a key shipping lane carrying about 12% of global trade. Iran-backed Houthi missiles are believed to be within range. If disruptions hit this route too, prices of fuel and food from Cairo to Nairobi could rise. #iranisraelwar #usiranwar #middleeast #middleeastconflict #iran Presenter: Priyanka Sippy Producer: Marco Oriunto Graphics: George Wafula Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
