Convert from any timezone to UTC

How do I convert a timestamp from any timezone to UTC in splunk? 

I have a field "DeviceTime" that can hold any time zone value. Few examples below

 

 

7/24/2020 9:45:47 AM +05:30
7/23/2020 6:29:45 AM -05:00
7/24/2020 11:21:31 AM +07:00
7/24/2020 4:21:29 AM +00:00

 

 

I would like to find the difference in minutes between current UTC time and the time stamp fields above

try strptime() with %:z and change user preference time zone.
