Iran is vowing revenge, and, with the exception of Apartheid Israel, no other country is expressing full support for the US crime, as all of Southwest Asia is on the verge of being engulfed in a devastating conflict. Several guests including Gerald Horne, Mohammad Marandi, Ben Norton and Rania Khalek join Loud & Clear to offer some understanding of the crisis.
