Hardline Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has accepted the ruling party’s vice-presidential endorsement for next election

Duterte has served too many terms as President and is now legally barred from seeking another term in office and now has agreed to run due to popular calls in his own government.

Critics say he is seeking the second-highest position in the land to stay in power and fend off possible political trouble after the end of his presidency.

The ruling party will meet next month and is also seeking to continue economic and anti-illegal drugs agenda into its next term if it does win.

The Iranian government responds as U.S. authorities detail claims of an assassination plot linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a significant development, Iran has broken its silence following allegations that an Iranian national was connected to a murder-for-hire plot aimed at former President Donald Trump.
