Could Iran’s new leader be worse than the old one? On the 10th
day of the US-Israeli war with Iran, Roland looks at why
IRGC-favourite Mojtaba Khamenei has been chosen as the new
supreme leader to take over from his assassinated father and what
it means for the regime.

Plus, Venetia gets a view from the Gulf about the growing oil
crisis, fears over dwindling interceptor missile stocks and how
the war is dragging in countries there.
