00:08U.S. President Donald Trump suggests an Iran regime change after U.S. airstrikes.

00:19The Philippine government braces for soaring global oil prices.

00:23Bahrain and Kuwait prepare for an escalation of the Iran conflict.

00:26Vice President Sadat Duterte pleads not guilty to her impeachment case.

00:31And Alex Ayala beats world number 56 Hailey Baptiste to reach the Eastburn main draw.

00:37United States President Donald Trump raises the possibility of an Iranian regime change

00:42following U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites.

00:46In a post, Trump said, quote,

00:47If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change?

00:53MIGA.

00:55This, despite his own government stressing that the mission called Operation Midnight Hammer

00:59was not aimed at overthrowing the Iranian government.

01:02U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegzeth adamantly said

01:05the bombing was a precision operation targeting Iran's nuclear program.

01:10On Sunday, June 22, Iran time, seven U.S. B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunkerbuster bombs

01:16on the Fordao and Atan's nuclear facilities, while a U.S. Navy submarine in the region hit

01:21the Isfahan nuclear site with 24 Tomahawk missiles.

01:25The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency says while it was clear U.S. airstrikes

01:30hit Iran's enrichment site at Fordao, it was not yet possible to assess the damage done underground.

01:36A senior Iranian source told Reuters most of the highly enriched uranium at Fordao had been

01:42moved to an undisclosed location before the U.S. attack.

01:45U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says no more strikes were planned unless Iran responded.

01:51Meantime, Iran says on Monday, June 23, the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the

01:56range of legitimate targets for its armed forces.

01:59In a recorded video statement, Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zulfagari says the U.S.

02:05should expect heavy consequences for its actions.

02:08Calling Trump a gambler, Zulfagari says, quote,

02:11The Philippine government braces for soaring global oil prices likely to affect domestic prices

02:20as well as the transport and agriculture sectors following the United States' attacks on Iran's

02:25nuclear sites.

02:26Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for 20% of the world's

02:31oil shipments, in retaliation to U.S. attacks.

02:34The Department of Energy on Monday, June 23, says oil firms have responded positively to

02:40their request of implementing staggered petroleum price adjustments.

02:43DOE's officer-in-charge Sharon Garin says she is set to meet officials from the Transportation

02:48and Agriculture Departments to discuss targeted fuel subsidies for public transport drivers

02:53and farmers.

02:54With higher oil prices, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr. says fertilizer will

03:00be most affected as well as transport.

03:03The Agriculture Chief says impacts on fertilizer costs may be felt starting October to December,

03:08since fertilizers for government distribution had already been procured.

03:11Meantime, 233 Filipinos in Israel request repatriation following the escalating tensions in the Middle

03:18East.

03:18The Foreign Affairs Department raised both Iran and Israel to alert Level 3, implementing a voluntary

03:24repatriation of Filipinos based there.

03:27Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Kakhdak says 26 OFWs have been processed for repatriation and

03:33will be on a flight to Manila on Monday, June 23.

03:38Bahrain and Kuwait, home to U.S. bases, prepare for the possibility that the Iran conflict could

03:43reach their countries.

03:44Bahrain urges drivers to avoid main roads and Kuwait set up shelters in a ministries complex.

03:50The Ministry of Interior says, quote,

03:52We urge citizens and residents to use main roads only when necessary, to maintain public

03:57safety and allow the relevant authorities to use the roads efficiently.

04:01This after U.S. forces attacked Iran's three main nuclear sites on Sunday, June 22, Iran time.

04:07U.S. President Donald Trump also warned Tehran it would face more devastating attacks if it does

04:11not agree to peace. Tehran had warned before that if the U.S. attacked, it might strike American

04:16assets in the region, including military bases. Bahrain hosts the headquarters of the U.S.

04:22Navy's Fifth Fleet, and the U.S. has several bases in Kuwait.

04:27Vice President Sara Duterte pleads not guilty to the impeachment articles against her.

04:31She also asks the court to junk the case.

04:34Duterte says, quote,

04:35There are no statements of ultimate facts in the fourth impeachment complaint. Stripped of its

04:40factual and legal conclusions, it is nothing more than a scrap of paper.

04:43The Vice President also said she cannot be compelled to answer the impeachment articles

04:47that the Senate returned to the House of Representatives. Her answer reads, quote,

04:52One fact is clear. There are no articles of impeachment presently with this court.

04:56In her response, Duterte reiterates her arguments in her Supreme Court petition,

05:00saying that the House violated the constitutional one-year ban when it impeached her through a

05:05fourth petition. Duterte also insists the delay in sending the complaints to the Speaker's office

05:10was done on purpose to avoid triggering the one-year bar rule. She also claims her alleged threat to

05:16the President during an online broadcast were, quote, exaggerations and speculations that are not

05:21supported by evidence. Duterte asserts that, quote, no final decision exists on the allegation that

05:27her handling of confidential funds was illegal or unconscionable. The Commission on Audit's

05:33Notice of Disallowance on her Confidential Fund spending is still subject to appeal and is not final.

05:40Alex Ayala claims another top 100 victim. Ayala secured a spot in the WTA 250 Lexus Eastburn

05:47Open Main Draw by winning against World No. 56 Hayley Baptiste, 6-7, 7-6, 6-1 in the last round of

05:55qualifiers on Sunday, June 22. The Filipina outlasted the tired Baptiste in the final set

06:00to win a tough battle. Ayala came prepared against Baptiste, the top seed in the qualifying rounds.

06:06Baptiste had just made her best showing in a Grand Slam event by reaching the fourth round of the

06:10French Open, but Ayala stayed focused to reach the main draw of the Eastburn Open, one of the two

06:15final events before Wimbledon. This win followed Ayala's strong performance on Saturday when she beat

06:21her former doubles partner Zeynep Sonmez of Turkey, 6-1, 6-2-3 in the first round of qualifying.

06:28This is the second straight week that the 20-year-old Filipina has made it to the main draw of a WTA 250

06:34event.
