The U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran on Feb. 28 after it refused to surrender long-range ballistic missiles and a likely nuclear weapon. In about a week, those strikes have killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, over 40 senior Iranian generals, and destroyed over 30 Iranian ships. 

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
