This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Morning Run with Amy and T.J. An IHeart Radio podcast. Hey there, everybody. Welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday. T.J.'s favorite day of the week, March 9th. I'm Amy Rovok. Off to a great start.

You all right. You just reminded me. I've been dragging a little bit, but a reminder, it's Monday.

It's renewal time. Yes, that just hyped me up just a little bit. It is Monday, March 9th. Hope you adjusted well to daylight saving. You said it's messing you up a little bit today.

Yeah. Maybe not yesterday.

Yeah. I feel like I got up a full hour before I needed to and I'm dragging. And I do think that's the thing. I was asking myself, why am I dragging so much? And I really think it's that one. It's weird. We travel a lot, used to time changes, but somehow this always messes me up. That feels about normal to me. This is every day. But folks, wherever you are, I hope you are doing well and adjusting well. We got a lot to get to. A lot happened over the weekend. We're going to be making stops in Tehran, in Houston, in Atlanta, in Los Angeles, here in New York City as well. but we do need to begin with the war in Iran. They've been warning us robes.

The service member died from injuries sustained March 1st during an attack in Saudi Arabia. And as

of this recording, we have not gotten the identity. They have not publicly identified who that service member is.

But other word we're getting this morning as we continue on Iran that Iran has a new supreme leader, the name Ayatollah Hamane, which absolutely robe should sound familiar to everybody at this point.

That's correct.

Mosthabah Hamanae is the son of Supreme Leader Hamene, who was killed in early

airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel at the start of the war.

Now, Iran State Television made the announcement that a special counsel of clerics

selected the 56-year-old as the new leader.

And he is only the third leader of the Iranian Republic since it was formed back in 1979.

The question robs, everybody's asking, how long is he going to last as supreme leader?

Because this is one of those, this isn't figurative. He quite literally might

have a target on his back. He absolutely does have a target on his back if you heard President

Trump and Israel. Yes, President Trump and Israel have both said that any new leader would

immediately be fair game for assassination. And Trump went even further saying any new leader wouldn't last
