World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well I'm on my phone so maybe you should address the discussion first & foremost since it involves your indifference you the death & destruction of millions of people.
As for claiming that Iran engages in mass killings of their own people, that is propaganda. The number of civilian deaths hasbarist claim usually ranges between two thousand to six million. But the US & Israel were bragging about the assets they had on the ground in Iran that were not protesting, but murdering government officials & setting fires to churches & businesses.
And even in the US is there was a mob of Russian assets murdering American cops, they too would be killed in response. The only time they wouldn't get killed is if they were Israeli, then we'd told that the cops were anti-semitic Hamas supporters.
To claim the Iranian government doesn't support their people is dumb. You must be listening to some Pahlavi Dynasty support in the US who likely wears a Star of David while talking about how bombing the people of Iran is so liberating for them.
Again, you are in no position to claim the Ayatollah are good or bad. They are a government & have been under attack by imperialists for decades while people like you blame the government for not capitulating to US hegemony. It is a ridiculous argument or claim & deserves to be called out.
I am on my phone as well it's nothing special. I can still do formatted thoughts just fine.
Also there's no indifference here except again perhaps projection on your part. US troops should all return home right now and spend their time better. By killing Trump and everyone who's volunteered for or funding his administration. My sympathies and desires lie with the people not the governments.
By all means though. Please make your case as to why I should be more concerned with who is allowed to kill the Iranian people more than, maybe the Iranian people shouldn't be killed. But don't think the morose hilarity of the situation. Where the awful candidate directly supported by Iran's ally Russia, stupidly flails against the government they indirectly created. This whole situation legitimately needs It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme music. The one and only thing that makes the Iranian government even slightly morally Superior in this instance is that they are the Homegrown killers. They will be there to kill their people long after Trump and the fascists get bored. Which they will. It's almost like none of these assholes should be meddling in or sabotaging the government of others. Regardless of who started it.
