Amid escalating Iran-Israel tensions, Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz — a vital route for global LNG and oil transport. Bangladesh, heavily reliant on Qatari LNG via this strait, may face significant gas supply disruptions if the route is blocked. Experts warn of rising energy costs, inflation, and industrial slowdowns. While current LNG imports remain unaffected, any prolonged conflict could severely impact the economy. The government is being urged to monitor the situation closely and consider alternative supply strategies.
