Converting Timestamp String with Timezone into UTC in Javascript Without External Packages

Question

I have a timestamp string and a timezone, and I need to convert that into a Date object in UTC without using moment-timezone.

Essentially, I wanna be able to do this without external dependencies:

var date = moment.tz("2021-03-03 14:40:40", "Asia/Dhaka")

Is this possible? I'd rather not have to download a rather hefty package just for this.

 let dateString = new Date("2021-03-03 14:40:40").toDateString('en-US', {timeZone: 'Asia/Dhaka'}) console.log(dateString);
