We're watching more turmoil in Iran this morning. Over the weekend, 87-year-old Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, one of the Islamic republic's founding leaders, passed away in his sleep. The revered ayatollah was a fierce critic of the nation's current leadership ... and the country's opposition took to the streets in mourning yesterday.
Joining us is Robert Worth, the New York Times Beirut bureau chief.
