U.S. Launches Major Strike on Kharg Island, Hitting Over 90 Iranian Military Targets

  This is a view of the pipes and a tanker on Kharg jetty in Iran, the largest in the world, seen July 1971.  The United States carried out a large-scale precision strike on Iran’s Kharg Island late Friday, targeting more than 90 Iranian military sites, according to U.S. Central Command. The operation focused on naval mine storage facilities, missile bunkers, and other strategic military positions while deliberately avoiding damage to the island’s vital oil infrastructure.  Kharg Island, a critical hub responsible for the majority of Iran’s crude oil exports, has become a focal point in rising regional tensions. While the strike successfully neutralized key military assets, CENTCOM emphasized that oil facilities were preserved to prevent further destabilization of global energy markets.  Iranian state media acknowledged the attack but reported no harm to oil terminals, warning that any future threats to its energy infrastructure could provoke retaliation.

Your daily horoscope: September 6, 2025


IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Changes on the home front may catch you by surprise over the coming year but if you stay calm and look at them from a logical point of view you could actually profit from them. All change is good change if you want it to be.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Before you give the brushoff to somehow who has let you down ask yourself if the situation really calls for such a drastic reaction. To what extent have their actions actually damaged your prospects? Maybe you should just forgive them and move on.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You seem to be rushing all over the place at the moment without getting much done – a clear message from the lunar eclipse that moving faster is unlikely to profit you in any meaningful way. Slow down and let others do all the running around.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Not only is there a lunar eclipse this weekend but changes planet Uranus begins its retrograde phase in your sign, which means this is not a good time to start something new. Stick with your current aims, at least for the time being.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Resist the temptation to take risks over the next 48 hours, because almost inevitably they will go wrong in the long-term, even if they seem to go right in the short-term. Despite that sense of urgency you feel there is no need to rush things.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

It’s not like you to feel anxious but current events have got you worried that changes in the wider world are going to affect you negatively. Maybe they are, but each challenge you face this weekend will be accompanied by new opportunities.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may pride yourself on your emotional self-control but this weekend’s lunar eclipse is sure to test that control to the limit. If you feel the need to let off steam, even scream at the sky, it might be best just to let it all out.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The more friends and family members demand to know what you are up to this weekend the more you must refuse to tell them. The less others know about your next big move the less likely it is they will be able to stop you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Usually when others tell you that something cannot be done you make it a point of principle to prove them wrong, but on this occasion you can sense they are right, so take their advice and postpone your plans to a later date. You won’t regret it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Everyone’s feelings will be close to the surface over the next 48 hours, so don’t be surprised if a colleague or loved one loses their cool. Strive to look at what’s going on around you from an intellectual rather than an emotional standpoint.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

At least 80 per cent of what you are planning to do this weekend is unnecessary, so take another look at your schedule and delete everything that is not an immediate priority. On this occasion, the less you do the more you will accomplish.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The one thing you MUST do this weekend is keep your purse strings tied tight. If you give in to temptation you won’t stop at buying one thing you don’t really need, you will go on a spree and buy everything. That’s a recipe for disaster!

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The lunar eclipse in your sign will magnify the little things that go wrong this weekend, so be sensible and don’t overreact to events that pose problems. A few days from now you will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about.
