Times Of Israel: Iran again closes schools, offices to conserve power amid shortages
Iran has ordered the closure of schools and public buildings in a third of its provinces, including Tehran, due to ongoing fuel shortages affecting power plants. These shortages have been exacerbated by a surge in demand from sub-zero temperatures and a reported Israeli attack on a major gas line.
The closures aim to manage electricity consumption as the country faces rolling blackouts. Despite having significant oil and gas reserves, international sanctions and infrastructure issues have led to a depletion of energy supplies.

Fox News: Supreme Court appears skeptical of blocking U.S. ban on TiKTok: What to know
The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding TikTok's future, as the app faces a potential ban in the U.S. due to national security concerns tied to its Chinese ownership. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act mandates that TikTok divest from ByteDance by January 19 or be removed from U.S. app stores.
The Biden administration argues that TikTok's Chinese ownership poses a significant threat to American users, while TikTok claims the law infringes on free speech rights. The justices appeared skeptical of TikTok's arguments, and a ruling is expected soon, with major implications for the app's 170 million U.S. users.
