The latest declarations from the White House have sent shockwaves through global markets, as President Donald Trump suggests the U.S. could wind down its military campaign against Iran within two to three weeks. However, as domestic petrol prices climb past $4 a gallon and the Strait of Hormuz remains a volatile chokepoint, many are questioning if this mission accomplished narrative is premature. The reality on the ground characterized by a lack of formal negotiations and a mowing the lawn military strategy suggests that ending this conflict will be far more complex than a simple withdrawal. The Stone Age Strategy: Defining the U.S. Military Objective President Trump has pivoted from seeking a diplomatic grand bargain to a strategy of pure attrition.

Lahore - Parents and students across Punjab are anxiously waiting to find out whether the provincial government will extend winter vacations for schools amid the ongoing cold wave gripping the region.
The question on everyone’s mind is simple: will our children get a few more days off, or will schools reopen as scheduled? This has become a hot topic of discussion in households throughout the province, especially as temperatures continue to drop and fog blankets many districts.
Currently, schools in Punjab are closed for their regular winter break, which typically runs from late December through early January. However, the persistent cold weather and dense fog conditions have raised concerns about students’ safety and health, particularly for those who have to travel long distances to reach their schools.
The Punjab Education Department has not yet made any official announcement regarding an extension. Parents are checking social media and news channels regularly, hoping for some clarity. Many are worried about their children’s safety in the harsh weather, while others are concerned about the academic calendar being disrupted further.
Local education authorities have indicated that any decision will be made keeping in mind the weather forecasts and the wellbeing of students. The fog situation has been particularly severe in central and southern Punjab, affecting visibility on roads and making morning commutes dangerous.
Teachers and school administrators are also in a state of uncertainty, unable to plan their schedules properly without a clear directive from the government. Some private schools have already announced they will follow whatever decision the government makes for public schools.
For now, families can only wait and watch as the Education Department deliberates on this matter. The decision, whenever it comes, will affect millions of students across the province and will need to balance educational needs with safety concerns in these challenging weather conditions.
