Growing military tensions in the Middle East have begun to exert pressure on Bangladesh’s industrial and energy sectors. Any reduction in gas supply for electricity generation or industrial use could disrupt production operations. They say that disruptions in energy supply could slow industrial output and place pressure on export sectors. Officials in the energy sector say rising military tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel have created uncertainty in the global energy supply chain. In addition, gas supply to most fertilizer factories has been temporarily suspended, except for the Shahjalal Fertilizer Factory in Sylhet.
