(CNN) — The attacks on Iran are already sending gasoline prices higher, and even steeper increases are probably coming soon.

The average US price for a gallon of regular gas stands at just under $3 Monday morning according to AAA’s survey, which was taken at the nation’s gas stations on Sunday. That’s up about 2 cents a gallon from the previous day’s survey and up six cents from a week ago.

Gas last topped $3 a gallon on average in early December, according to AAA.

But world oil markets are on pace to post their biggest one-day gain in years on Monday. It won’t take long for prices at pumps to follow suit.

Independent oil analyst Tom Kloza, an advisor to Gulf Oil, said he expects retail gas prices will be rising 5 to 10 cents a day for at least a little while. Wholesale gasoline prices are up about 4% in global markets early Monday. Diesel futures soared 12%.

“Yesterday, I got a call early in the morning, and there were a number of companies that were raising their wholesale prices for gasoline by 25 cents (a gallon),” Kloza told CNN Sunday. “Clearly, there’s clearly a whiff of panic there. (Wholesalers) are afraid that they’re going to get hit with massive price increases.”

Gasoline prices typically start climbing this time of year because of increased seasonal demand, and the high point for gas prices in recent years has come in mid-April. But war with Iran has accelerated those normal increases, and the impact on prices at pump will be readily apparently in just a matter of days.

Kloza said it’s too soon to tell how high gas prices will rise.

“Where do we stop? Prior to Friday night, I would have said that we would stop at $3.25,” he said. “Now it’s a little bit open ended.”

West Texas Intermediary, the benchmark used for US oil, was up 8%, on pace for the biggest one-day gain since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

That 2022 disruption in global markets lifted the average gasoline price in the United States to a record $5.02 in June of that year, up from $3.53 a gallon just before the invasion.

Kloza doesn’t think gas prices will approach that record even if the war in Iran stretches on. There is enough supply worldwide to stop that from happening, he believes.

“There’s plenty of crude oil out there,” he said.

Strait of Hormuz

A critical factor in the direction of oil prices will be the flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz – the narrow channel off Iran’s southern coast through which 20% of the global oil supply moves.

Traffic through the strait is currently at a standstill.

Oil prices could spike further if traffic is at an effective halt in the Strait of Hormuz for a prolonged period of time. Iran has already fired on some ships in the strait.

Iran wouldn’t necessarily have to wage attacks on enough ships to actually make the strait impassable: The attacks on shipping could mean vessel operators and maritime insurers would decide to stay away, essentially stopping traffic, or sending shipping rates skyrocketing. For example, Danish shipping company Maersk said Sunday it was suspending all vessel crossings in the strait.

(CNN) — When she was in her 40s, Jenny Teeters had a serious drinking problem that she hid behind her professional success.

At one point, she managed a high-six-figure tech job, raised two teen girls, finished her MBA and taught Zumba — all while intoxicated.

She got to a place where she could no longer juggle it all. She knew she needed help. What finally made her sobriety stick, she said, was a newfound faith in a higher power.

“In my addiction, I had veered away from faith, because I really thought, ‘who am I to be going into a church, knowing that I’m doing the same damaging thing over and over again?’ I had so many unhealthy attachments and addictions with my drinking,” said Teeters, who now lives in South Carolina. “But when I confessed to a priest about my drinking, he told me I needed to work on a personal relationship with Jesus.”

That conversation planted a seed.

“And it just became this vehicle by which they helped bring me back.”

New research suggests that kind of connection may help others, too. A study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry in February found that a person’s spiritual belief or a steady religious practice had a protective effect from addiction.

The analysis, which included 55 studies encompassing more than a half-million people, found that those who had a spiritual belief or religious practice were less likely to have a harmful relationship with alcohol, drugs or cigarettes. Those with a connection to a higher power had more success recovering from addiction, too.

No single demographic benefited more from a spiritual connection, but more than half of African Americans in the study reported that their spirituality or religion “made all the difference” in their recovery — a rate two- to threefold more than that of White people.

Faith, or a spiritual connection, also seemed to help women gain the same level of success with the recovery process as men. Earlier research has shown that women typically face more barriers to recovery. Society judges women much more harshly than men for addiction, and women, who are more often caregivers, may find it difficult to make time for themselves or spend money on rehab.

The new study doesn’t explain why faith protects against the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol or smoking. No one religious or spiritual practice appeared to be more protective against addiction, but the risk reduction was higher for people who regularly engaged in a spiritual or religious community, defined as weekly attendance at a religious service.

One possible reason for the protective effect between faith and substance use is that excessive drug and alcohol use would not typically be the norm in a religious community, said Dr. Amy Krentzman, who researches spirituality and alcoholism recovery and did not work on the new study.

A belief in a higher power also provides people with hope and solace — great foils for addiction. Regular attendance in a faith community also provides connection.

“Traditional religious congregations or participation would give a perso

Los actores Zendaya y Tom Holland se casaron en una ceremonia secreta, según el estilista de Zendaya, Law Roach.

El domingo, en la alfombra roja de los premios Actores 2026 en Los Ángeles, Roach declaró al medio Access Hollywood que “la boda ya se celebró”.

“Se la perdieron”, dijo Roach, quien lleva más de una década trabajando con Zendaya.

Zendaya y Holland, ambos de 29 años, se conocieron en 2017 durante el rodaje de “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, y su química durante la gira de prensa de la película dio pie a especulaciones sobre una posible relación.

Sin embargo, no fue hasta julio de 2021 que esta se confirmó, cuando la pareja fue fotografiada besándose en el coche de Holland.

Desde entonces, “Tomdaya” han mantenido su relación con discreción, compartiendo solo ocasionalmente fotos en entrevistas o redes sociales.

Y lo han logrado a pesar de haberse convertido en dos de las mayores estrellas de Hollywood: Zendaya ha aparecido recientemente en películas taquilleras como “Dune: Parte Dos” (2024) y “Challengers” (2024), mientras que Holland interpreta a Peter Parker en la franquicia de Marvel “Spider-Man”.

La aparición de un anillo de diamantes en el dedo de Zendaya en los Globos de Oro en enero de 2025 desató especulaciones sobre la posible propuesta de matrimonio de Holland, lo que posteriormente confirmó en una entrevista en septiembre de ese año.

En febrero de este año, surgieron rumores de que la pareja se había casado en secreto, después de que Zendaya fuera vista con un anillo de oro en lugar del anillo de diamantes.

Ahora parece que Roach ha revelado la verdad, aunque ni Zendaya ni Holland han hecho comentarios al respecto.

CNN contactó a representantes de Zendaya y Holland para solicitarles comentarios.

(CNN) — Actors Zendaya and Tom Holland have tied the knot at a secret wedding ceremony, according to Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach.

Speaking on the red carpet at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, Roach told media outlet Access Hollywood that “the wedding has already happened.”

“You missed it,” said Roach, who has been working with Zendaya for more than a decade.

Zendaya and Holland, who are both 29, met in 2017 while filming “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” and their chemistry on the film’s press tour led to speculation that they were romantically involved.

However, it wasn’t until July 2021 that their relationship was confirmed, when the couple were photographed kissing in Holland’s car.

Since then “Tomdaya” have kept their relationship largely out the spotlight, only occasionally sharing snapshots of it in interviews or on social media.

They have managed to do so despite the fact that they have become two of Hollywood’s biggest stars: Zendaya has recently appeared in blockbuster movies such as “Dune: Part Two” (2024) and “Challengers” (2024), while Holland plays Peter Parker in the Marvel franchise “Spider-Man.”

The sight of a diamond ring on Zendaya’s finger at the Golden Globe awards in January 2025 sparked speculation that Holland had proposed, which he then confirmed in an interview in September that year.

Then in February this year rumors swirled that the couple had secretly married, after Zendaya was spotted wearing a gold band instead of the diamond ring.

Now it appears Roach has let the proverbial cat out of the bag, although neither Zendaya nor Holland has addressed his statement.

CNN has contacted representatives for both Zendaya and Holland for comment.

If you’re feeling on edge watching the headlines, you’re not alone — the uncertainty after the US entered a war with Iran has rattled many Americans and raised questions about what comes next. President Donald Trump said Sunday that the war could last four to five weeks, though analysts emphasize the situation remains fluid.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ War with Iran

The US and Israel began joint strikes on Iran over the weekend, killing its supreme leader and launching a war that is quickly escalating across the Middle East. Iran’s retaliation has been swift and expansive, with attacks targeting almost all of its neighbors, many of which are US-allied Gulf countries typically regarded as safe, luxury destinations for tourists and expats. CNN has reported on deaths and damage in the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. At least three US service members were killed in Kuwait, with President Donald Trump warning there could be more US casualties.

VISUALS: Here’s a look at the conflict in maps and charts

2⃣ Travel chaos

Air travel across the Middle East has been thrown into chaos by the war in Iran, as thousands of flights are grounded in one of the world’s busiest travel regions. Several airlines in US-friendly Gulf states have been affected, including in United Arab Emirates cities Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which have become the target of Iranian retaliation for hosting US military bases. Airspace closures are also in place over Qatar, Kuwait, Israel, Bahrain and Iraq. The disruptions are expected to last for at least several more days. Travelers are urged to check with their airlines about rebooking or refunds, though many are reporting long waits and limited assistance due to overwhelming demand.

3⃣ Gas prices

Oil and natural gas prices jumped today as the conflict with Iran intensifies, threatening the flow of energy to global markets. Brent crude, the global benchmark, spiked 9% to trade at above $79 a barrel. The US benchmark, meanwhile, climbed nearly 8% to around $73 a barrel. Large-scale unrest, strikes that take out oil production, or a shutdown of a critical oil shipping channel could eventually send oil to $100 a barrel or even higher, industry analysts warn. If that happens — and the market is currently betting against that scenario — gasoline prices could go through the roof. That could force Americans to pay a price for regime change in Iran, further exacerbating affordability concerns.

4⃣ Texas shooting

Two people were killed and 14 others injured early Sunday in a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, as a bar in a busy nightlife district was preparing to close. Investigators are examining whether the suspect — who was fatally shot by police — was motivated by recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran, though officials caution it’s too early to draw conclusions. The suspected gunman was wearing a shirt with an Iranian flag beneath a hoodie reading “Property of Allah,” a law enforcement official told CNN. Authorities were also see
