Iran Security Council has approved safe passage to Bangladesh’s six fuel-carrying ships waiting to cross the Strait of Hormuz amid continued war in West Asia. As petroleum reserves continue to dwindle in Bangladesh, heavily dependent on imported fuel, five LNG shipments from Qatar and one crude oil cargo from Saudi Arabia, carrying nearly 5 lakh tonnes of LNG and around 79,000 tonnes of crude oil are waiting to cross the Strait of Hormuz.Bangladesh had earlier requested Iran to allow the vessels to pass through the strait following the February 28 attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran and the retaliation by the Islamic nation. Is Iran trying to connect with th rest of the world for support?
