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.

He reflects his countrymen
Everyone wants to use the poor in the U.S. to fight their fake holy wars for cash.
Including the poor US.
So wait, does this mean Saudi Arabia and Israel are on the same side?
Astronaut with gun: Always have been
No one likes Iran's regime. They are real assholes, have been since 1979. Saudi Arabia isn't much better.
It's smart that Saudi Arabia wants the USA to fight it's fight in Iran. They spend a bunch of their GDP on the military and I haven't heard of them firing a single missile in this war.
Maybe you should read a little history on what happened in 1979 & why, because if you ask me America is the asshole:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution
And Saudi Arabia is worse. Weird how the US, Israel & Saudi Arabia has been propping up Al Qaeda.
Really? Iran is the good guy? Didn't you watch last month?
The US is a fuckhead, but don't act like Iran has some nice government
You're correct, but that doesn't contradict anything they said. The Saudis and Israelis are smartly manipulating the US to support and Cary out their dirty work for them. Doesn't mean it's good. And yes, US interference caused the rise of the ayatollah. That doesn't make the ayatollah good either.
The strategy is labeling the Ayatollah as bad is just distraction. It is merely justification & capitalizes on conditioned Islamophobia. US sanctions has killed tens of millions of people since 1979. This is how the US imperialism works. You create a humanitarian disaster & crisis, and then you say you have to intervene because of the crisis you've created. You label the people you kill as terrorists while being the significant proponent of terrorism. And in reality, if someone bombs your people & family you do create & formulate those who seek revenge, and Israel has stated that they see that as a benefit because it is an opportunity for them to take more land. To claim someone is bad, you have to ask are they bad in a vacuum or are they bad because they oppose imperialists. Under that lens, who's to say Iran is bad. What makes them bad, that they resist? That the people suffer because US forces formulate famine & water shortages? Look at what is happening to the people of Cuba because of the US. That they spend money on defense against imperialists? If anything the actions by the US & Israel has proven the Ayatollah to be correct about the threat by the Zionists & West.
No, sorry, the Iranian regime is bad. If you can’t see that, it invalidates the rest of your post.
First try formatted paragraphs. They're much easier to read and follow. Second you're applying your own tribalism or campism to something that doesn't involve it. Be consistent. The number of people killed or murdered by the United States does not justify others to do the same. Further any state or leadership that mass kills their own either through malice or incompetence is not good definitionally. Ipso facto Iran and the ayatollah.
I'm not cheering anyone on in this fight. The government I am subject to should not have ever gotten involved ever not just this time. And the oppressive Iranian government doesn't represent their people and isn't worthy of support either.
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.
Master Bone Saw wants what MBS wants…
Saudi Arabia wants the US to keep their oil prices high to pad their coffers.
SA's lifting cost for oil is somewhere around $3/bbl but all their other government spending and development programs brings their actual budgetary breakeven cost closer to like $90/bbl. The past year they've spent south of $70/bbl has been bleeding money.
Will that cost another jumbo jet, or is that already covered by the one from Qatar?
