Iran announced Monday that the late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, will be his successor. The Stimson Center's Randa Slim and NATO Defense College fellow Bessma Momani discuss how the selection of a hardliner with 'revenge intentions' could impact Iran's approach to the war. Plus, as Prime Minister Mark Carney calls three byelections, The Writ's Éric Grenier breaks down the challenge the Liberals could face in winning all three ridings to pass the threshold for a majority in the House of Commons.
