10:00 am EST: Tehran Bureau interview with Hossein Karroubi, opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi’s son.

How is your father Haj Agha Mehdi Karroubi?

We’re treating him for burns to his face and eyes. He’s having trouble with his lungs too. He was badly attacked with pepper spray. Plainclothes agents (vigilantes) approached him and kept spraying it in his eyes. He’s resting at home though; he’s not been hospitalized.

Meanwhile, Colum Lynch introduces you to the diplomats and states(wo)men who’ll play key roles in any international economic sanctions regime against the Iranian government.
