Bangladesh's St. Martin Island has become a point of focus in the ongoing crisis that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government. The island, located near Myanmar, is said to be a potential site for a US airbase. This move could give the country strategic oversight of the Strait of Malacca and allow surveillance on Chinese investments in the Bay of Bengal. Some experts suggest this could also impact trade in the region. The development has sparked concerns about its implications for regional stability.
