Gulf War Flare-Up: What the Latest U.S.–Iran Strikes Mean for Your Wallet

  The three-month-old war between the U.S.–Israel coalition and Iran escalated again this morning. Here's a plain-English breakdown of what happened — and what it means for your gas tank and grocery bill. What Happened on June 6? U.S. forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites on Saturday, June 6, after shooting down drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz, according to the U.S. military. The U.S. military believes the four Iranian drones were targeting regional maritime traffic. U.S. Central Command said it struck Iran's surveillance sites in Goruk and Qeshm Island, both located on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran did not take that lying down: Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation and fired on four tankers attempting to cross the strait without its permission.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The influence of Mars on your birthday means that assistance will always be there for you if you need it this year. But it is unlikely to just appear as if by magic. Speak up and let friends and loved ones know what it is you require.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Don’t disrupt your own routine today merely to accommodate someone else’s needs. Why should you be the one who is penalized for being organized and on top of the job? Put your own needs first and don’t feel the tiniest bit guilty about it.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The planets warn that while you may think you know what is going on around you there is a good chance you have got the wrong end of the stick and arrived at a mistaken conclusion that could cost you dear. Get a second, and expert, opinion.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The Sun in Leo at this time of year puts you in a sociable mood but you need to be choosy about who your companions are and what you do together. If you allow them to lead you astray you will have only yourself to blame.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Your financial situation may not be as satisfactory as you would like it to be but neither is it in such a dire state that you have to make radical changes. Just be a bit more selective about how you spend your well-earned cash.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The Sun in your sign linked to energy planet Mars today will make it possible for you to resolve a problem that has plagued you for many weeks. You should be focusing on more enjoyable things now, so get it done and then get past it.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You need to be under a certain amount of pressure to make the most of your abilities and that pressure is about to come down on you quicker than you expected. The good news is you have what it takes to deal with whatever life sends your way.


LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If it turns out that a friend or loved one has been less than honest about what they’ve been up to of late be smart and refuse to get angry about it. It could be they had a very good reason for keeping you out of the loop.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You may be tempted to take a chance of some sort on the work front and it may well pay off but don’t push your luck too far. The planets warn that while you may get away with taking risks today that won’t be the case over the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Try not to jump to conclusions about what a friend or work colleague has been up to. No doubt there are clear signs that they have gone off the rails a bit but by this time tomorrow it’s more than likely they will be back on track.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

This is a good time to plough through that backlog of jobs you started but never quite got round to finishing. The sun’s link to Mars will give you the energy you need to see it through to the end – but first you must make a start!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Close your ears to a friend’s sob story today because they are not nearly as hard done by as they claim to be. Not only that but where they are in a bit of trouble it is entirely of their own making and only they can resolve the situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Seize the opportunity to make a difference in some way over the next 24 hours. If it is in your power to help a friend or loved one come through a challenging phase in their life there can be no excuse for passing by on the other side.
