The day was defined by the intersection of war and energy economics. Morning headlines from BFMTV and France TV Info reported TotalEnergies' 50% profit surge to $5.4 billion, attributed to the Iran conflict. This sparked political debate: by early afternoon, Defense Minister Lecornu called on TotalEnergies to redistribute its 'exceptional' profits, while Macron urged 'new responses' to fuel prices. The war in Iran continued to dominate, with Trump threatening a multi-month blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the Pentagon estimating the war's cost at $25 billion. Bardella opposed sending French troops to the strait without a durable ceasefire. The Libyan financing trial saw Sarkozy contradict Guéant at the bar. France advised its nationals to leave Mali 'as soon as possible.'
