Thai Senate Seeks Impeachment of PM Paetongtarn Over Leaked Cambodia Call

In the United States, President Donald Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to call for his impeachment over what she described as a 'disastrous' and unauthorized military action that risks prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, Thailand faces a political crisis as Senate President Mongkol Surasajja filed a petition with the Constitutional Court and National Anti-Corruption Commission seeking the impeachment of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra due to a leaked audio conversation with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen. The petition accuses Paetongtarn of violating constitutional and ethical standards, potentially undermining national sovereignty and public trust, with significant political fallout including coalition instability and calls for her resignation. This move is supported by prominent senators including General Sawat Tassana, who condemned her conduct as a betrayal of national interests. Separately, in the Philippines, controversy surrounds the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte, with accusations that the Senate impeachment court's spokesperson made inappropriate comments that suggest a defense strategy, raising concerns about potential bias and deliberate stalling of the trial. These developments highlight ongoing governmental and political tensions in key global regions, involving questions of constitutional authority, political accountability, and national security.
