The 2026 Iran-Israel-US war has severely disrupted global supply chains, primarily through near-halt of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz — which normally carries 20% of seaborne oil and 20-25% of LNG — along with escalated threats in the Red Sea and damage to energy infrastructure. This has caused sharp surges in oil and LNG prices, higher freight rates, rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope (adding 10–14 days), and shortages in fertilizers, aluminum, helium, and petrochemicals, threatening agriculture, manufacturing, and consumer goods worldwide.South Asia, heavily reliant on Middle Eastern energy and fertilizers, faces rising costs, shipping delays, and risks to food security and exports. As of early April 2026, countries like Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan are mitigating impacts through emergency imports (including from Russia with waivers), fuel rationing, conservation measures, supplier diversification, and strategic reserves. Navigating Supply Chain Disruptions in 2026, while these steps have prevented immediate collapse, they bring higher inflation and economic strain, especially for Bangladesh’s RMG sector.
