For the first time since the start of the war in the Middle East, an estimate of the cost of this conflict for the United States has been shared. The significant consumption of missiles by the American forces increases the bill for the Pentagon.

The bill for the war against Iran promises to be particularly steep for the United States. Before the House of Representatives, Pentagon financial controller Jules Hurst indicated that the Americans had spent about $25 billion so far on the conflict in the Middle East. This is the first public estimate of the cost of this war, but this Pentagon official did not detail the costs to the US military.

“I’m glad you finally answered that question. We’ve been asking for it for a while, and no one has yet given us this figure,” said Democrat Adam Smith, who sits on the Armed Services Committee.

The costly reconstitution of missile stocks

American spending notably includes the numerous missiles used by its army against the Mullahs’ regime. US Central Command claims to have “hit more than 13,000 targets” across Iran during 39 days of strikes. For this, the United States has massively used long-range JASSM air-to-ground missiles or Tomahawks. According to a study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CESI) published on April 21, Washington used more than 1,000 and 850 respectively in this conflict.

To defend itself against the Iranian response, the American army also called upon its air defense systems, such as the Patriot or the THAAD batteries, again using numerous expensive missiles. Replenishing stocks, a process that will take many months, will constitute a significant expense for the Pentagon, Jules Hurst warned.

Some of the United States’ expenses in this war were budgeted for, but others were not. Donald Trump has demanded from Congress a colossal increase, of around 50%, in the United States defense budget for 2027.

“This will allow us to build the dream army to which we have long aspired and, above all, which will keep us SAFE, whatever the enemy,” justified the American president.

The United States is already the country that spends the most on its military, with a continuous increase for several years. In recent weeks, the American Department of Defense has entered into several agreements and contracts to boost arms production. For example, the Pentagon signed an agreement at the end of March with Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems to quadruple the production of seeker heads for THAAD interceptors.

To conduct this investigation, the gendarmes had to create two tables. The first looks like a classroom trombinoscope. Three dozen portraits of little boys are gathered together, not in the files of a school, but in a report from the Villefranche-sur-Saône brigade (Rhône). Children with first names from the end of the 2010s, aged 3 to 9 years old at the time of the events, wearing hooded sweatshirts or shirts, messy brown hair, a serious, worried or stunned look, captured by the camera recording the hearings.

Four entries make up the second table. The victim’s first and last name. The offenses then: recording or fixing a pornographic image of a minor, sexual assault or rape. In each of these three boxes, the investigators entered a yes or left a blank, and wrote down the dates. In total, around sixty facts in each category. All committed and filmed by the same man, Romain G., in the village of Lucenay (Rhône), in Beaujolais, between 2020 and 2024.

At the origin of the accounting dizziness of this affair, there are three CM1 students who tell their parents about attacks committed by the father of their school friend during sleepovers at his home. Arrested in December 2024 following these accusations, Romain G. emerged free, but attempted suicide. At the hospital where he is treated, he admits to having caused a significant number of victims and 200 videos of serious violence. Imprisoned since then, he has just been indicted on April 10 by an investigating judge from Villefranche-sur-Saône for facts concerning a total of 34 victims. According to the videos found by the gendarmes, he imposed rape or sexual acts on at least 23 of them, and he filmed them all naked.

Towards a first in this area in the EU? The Swedish government announced on Wednesday that it had prepared a bill requiring social networks, such as TikTok and Snapchat, to remove classified ads recruiting people to commit murder within an hour or face heavy fines.

Criminal gangs active in Sweden are increasingly using social media to recruit people, often minors, to commit murder and other acts of violence.

Those recruited are often children under the age of fifteen, the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden. These minors cannot therefore be prosecuted and are placed under the responsibility of social services, which represents a definite advantage for criminal gangs.

“We would be the first (among the countries of the European Union, editor’s note) to adopt legislation of this type aimed at combating the recruitment of children and young people by organized crime,” declared Swedish Minister of Justice Gunnar Strommer during a press conference.

Fines of up to 5 million crowns

If the proposal is adopted by parliament, social networks will be liable, from July 15, to a fine of up to five million crowns (460,000 euros) if they do not remove this type of ad in time.

“Nowadays, murder contracts are openly published on social networks like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat,” Pontus Andersson Garpvall, a member of the Sweden Democrats and member of the parliamentary justice committee, said during the press conference.

According to him, bombings and shootings are coordinated by criminal circles using “different digital services”.

“Those who are drawn into this serious crime and accept these criminal missions are often children and young people who have no connection with the instigator, the victim or the place where the crime is to be committed,” added Pontus Andersson Garpvall.

A surge in organized crime

Sweden has been facing a surge in organized crime for around ten years, linked to the war between gangs and the control of drug trafficking.

The right-wing minority government, supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats party, has increased legislative proposals to crack down on crime and immigration in the run-up to the Swedish parliamentary elections on September 13.

The government previously proposed a bill lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 from July 1 for crimes punishable by at least four years in prison.

This proposal has encountered strong opposition in the country, including among police and prison authorities.

Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, wore a pin representing her country and including Essequibo, a 160,000 km² oil-rich territory administered by Guyana but whose borders are at the heart of a dispute with Caracas.

Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali complained Tuesday about a brooch worn by Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez during two official visits to the Caribbean, depicting his country’s map including Essequibo, a disputed region between the two countries.

This oil-rich territory of 160,000 km² has been administered by Guyana for more than a century but is at the heart of a dispute with Venezuela, the two countries opposing each other over the course of their common border. Repeated calls by deposed President Nicolas Maduro for the annexation of Essequibo have raised fears of armed conflict.

Former vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, who succeeded Nicolas Maduro after his capture by the American army on January 3, was notably responsible for the Essequibo case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). During her two official visits abroad this month, first to the island of Grenada and then to Barbados, Delcy Rodriguez wore a gold brooch depicting a map of Venezuela including the Essequibo.

“Ostentatious exhibition of symbols”

Guyana Irfaan Ali considered it “deeply regrettable” that, during these meetings, we could see “the ostentatious exhibition of symbols” affirming Venezuela’s territorial claim to this disputed area.

In a letter sent to the Caribbean Community (Caricom), the Guyanese president believes that neighboring Venezuela cannot claim to normalize, through symbols, maps, legislation, appointments or official exhibitions, an issue that remains to be resolved.

“Using CARICOM meetings to project or promote a territorial claim against a member state risks being interpreted as consent or tolerance. No act, whether deliberate or unintentional, should give the impression that Community platforms can be used to advance claims currently before the International Court of Justice,” he added.

The Maduro government relaunched territorial claims from 2019. In 2023, it organized a referendum on the creation of a new state as part of Venezuela, then in 2025 it chose a governor and deputies for this area, over which Caracas exercises no power. Guyana’s president said in early February that Maduro’s overthrow “does not eliminate or reduce” what he sees as a threat from Caracas to the Essequibo.

In terms of trusted hosting, the German SAP has, to date, chosen cloud technologies from Microsoft and Google – but from French joint ventures. After Bleu in March, the publisher signed a partnership with S3NS, owned by Thales and Google.

In this context, SAP Sovereign Cloud will deploy the publisher’s ERP solution (SAP RISE private Cloud Edition) on PREMI3NS, the qualified SecNumCloud offer from S3NS. Availability of the service is announced for the second half of the year.

Data hosted, processed and encrypted in France

For users of the SAP cloud edition, this hosting means data “hosted, processed and encrypted in France, under French jurisdiction.” And who says cloud means, compared to an on-premise ERP, access to the latest functionalities, notably AI.

SAP RISE private Cloud Edition has a first customer: Thales. The majority shareholder of S3NS plans “a transformation of its entire SAP ERP”. In this context, the deployment will be done in “clean core” mode.

The SAP cloud migration project aims to unify key processes, “in the finance, supply chain, production and purchasing sectors.” For the German, this contract is an opportunity to highlight the benefits of its offer for the regulated sectors in France.

Cloud ERP for sensitive customers

Thales also intends to take advantage of this agreement to attract new customers to its trusted cloud. According to him, the partnership with SAP makes it possible to remove the obstacles to the adoption of the cloud in certain sensitive industries.

Public administration, aeronautics and defense, but also operators of essential and vital services are thus targeted by the ERP offer in the SecNumCloud environment. It will of course remain to convince SAP customers to give up on-premises.

These customers will undoubtedly closely follow the outcome of the investigation opened in 2025 by the EU against the publisher. The Commission suspects SAP in particular of requiring the use of its maintenance services for its on-premise ERPs.

30 managed services available and 30 to come

As for S3NS, it has been qualified as SecNumCloud since last December. This valuable label allows it in principle to accelerate its development. The cloud provider claims to date “more than sixty customers”.

Last November, and to complete its private cloud, EDF signed with suppliers Bleu and S3NS. The energy company announced that it would equip itself with a trusted cloud for the “secure and sovereign” storage of its data.

In the race for offers, S3NS announces that it will complete its portfolio comprising 30 managed services “with 30 additional services in the next 12 months”. For this, it can count on the existing GCP. Moreover, Vertex AI services are planned among the new features to come.
