On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his Take on the protests in Iran over the past week, and why they could portend a period of instability.
"Iran has the ingredients for a revolution. Over half the population is under 30, large numbers of its youth are educated yet unemployed, almost 50 million Iranians have smartphones with which they can learn about the world, and reformers have consistently raised expectations but never been able to deliver on their promises. But the regime also has instruments of power, ideology, repression and patronage, all of which it is ready to wield to stay in control."
Next, Fareed hosts a live panel to dig deeper into the demonstrations in Iran – and what they might mean for the country's future. Joining Fareed will be Thomas Erdbrink, Tehran bureau chief for The New York Times, and Karim Sadjadpour, senior fellow with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Middle East Program.
Also on the show: Fareed hosts a panel to discuss US leadership and recent developments over North Korea, Pakistan and more. Joining Fareed live will be Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and author of "A World in Disarray: American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order," Jane Harman, president and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Center and a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives (D-CA), and Dan Senor, former chief spokesperson of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq and a former foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney.
