A CNN reporter became startled live on air when thunder and lightning broke out over the White House. Journalist Betsy Klein was in the middle of a segment on the Iran War on Thursday (9 July) when she became distracted by the loud weather and darkening skies. After a lightning bolt lit up the sky, she exclaimed, “My gosh, really bad,” and turned around to glance at the weather. Ms Klein then composed herself and continued the report on US strikes on Iran.
