President Trump is having quite a mood swing.

Today, while speaking with reporters, he got so worked up he dropped a bomb of his own.

Iran retaliated for the U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites by sending missiles to bomb U.S. airbases in Qatar and Iraq. No injuries or casualties were reported. This comes as fear builds that Iran has also woken up sleeper cells across America to spread terror here on our shores. And the airstrikes, codenamed Operation Midnight Hammer, were meticulously planned...involving a complex, synchronized attack on three key nuclear sites that were carried out by Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers - the military's premiere stealth bomber, according to US military authorities. So, what's it like to fly one? Inside Edition spoke with an Air Force veteran who knows firsthand. Plus, when word came of an active shooter at a church right in the middle of Sunday services, social media lit up with worry it was a terror attack in the wake of the airstrikes in Iran.

Juror number eleven from the Karen Read trial is speaking out. She says she didn't believe the prosecutor's claim that Read murdered her cop boyfriend John O’Keefe by mowing him down in her SUV... and instead sided with the defense's claim that O’Keefe died after being beaten at a house party. Her words give us a better understanding of why Karen Read walked away a free woman. And it's the first day of summer and America is already bracing for a major heatwave, so it’s a perfect time for a reminder to never leave a child or pet in a hot car.
