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.

Your daily horoscope: December 13, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A Mars-Uranus link on your birthday will encourage you to go all-out in pursuit of your No. 1 goal. Put in maximum effort but don’t take the kind of risks that could end in disaster if you make a wrong call. Be sensibly ambitious.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You’ve got this feeling that something wonderful is going to happen, and indeed it is, but don’t get carried away and think you can take the kind of risks even an Aries should try to avoid. Your ruler Mars could lead you into dangerous situations.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

It may seem as if Lady Luck has abandoned you but the good news is the cosmic picture will begin to change over the next few days and you will be the beneficiary. Stay calm and be ready to move ahead at a moment’s notice.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Changes on the work front may be challenging but you are smart enough to come through them not only unscathed but actually ahead of your rivals. Unlike some of your colleagues this weekend you will quickly adapt to new realities.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Mars in the work area of your chart has forced you to change your ways in recent weeks and that’s good because you were getting into a bit of a rut. Now reach out and help a friend who has also been struggling to move with the times.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

This may be a time of good fortune for you but don’t take it for granted. When Mars changes signs early next week things may not be so easy for you, especially on the work front where colleagues and employers will become much more demanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Slow down and give your batteries a chance to recharge this weekend, because in a matter of days you will be called on to give 100 per cent where before you were managing to coast along at an easier rate. Start taking your ambitions seriously.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you get obsessive about an objective that is clearly unattainable this weekend then you will be disappointed when you fail to make the grade. Instead, lower your sights a bit and focus on a target that is within reach but still a worthy challenge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

If it feels like you are being nudged in a new direction then accept it and go with the flow. You may prefer to call the shots but on this occasion you must let yourself be guided by events rather than try to control them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You have enjoyed being active in recent weeks and the thought of slowing down is not in your thinking. However, a new cosmic phase is beginning to dawn and you need to start making plans for when life isn’t so easy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A few days from now the pace of life will begin to pick up and by the end of next week you will be hurrying along with the wind at your back. You will accomplish more later on if you put a name to your ambitions right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Although recent events have been fortunate for you what happens this weekend will make you aware that it won’t always be this easy. Make it your No. 1 priority to conserve some of that energy you are currently wasting on trivial pursuits.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Do whatever it takes to stay on good terms with co-workers and employers this weekend, even if it means pretending you agree with them when you don’t. The planets warn if you rock the boat even a little bit it could be you who falls out!
