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.

It’s every week.
Right before markets close for the weekend, he says a deal is close.
This makes investors feel confident and buy oil futures.
He’s been pumping and dumping the oil market for this entire war, and investors are so stupid they keep believing him. I guarantee when the market finally crashes off the end of this rollercoaster, the war will miraculously end.
Mainstream media is captured. They repeat the bullshit narratives every week. You've gotta be retarded to believe them at this point.
This BBC article is doing an ok job. It's true that Trump claims that a deal is near. They also point out the history:
Trump has previously claimed a deal with Iran was close without one materialising.
[...]
On 20 April, Trump said a deal with Iran would be made "relatively quickly", and both he and senior administration figures suggested negotiations were progressing in the weeks that followed.
But on 27 May, after reports the two sides were close to an agreement, Trump said he was "not satisfied" with its terms. Talks have continued since.
[...]
Hours before the latest comments on an impending deal, Trump had said "the United States will be hitting Iran... very hard tonight" while threatening to seize Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points "in the not too distant future".
If they were doing an okay job, title would be something like, "Pathological liar and narcissistic pedophile makes claims without evidence." With a disclaimer at the top:
"Believing what this pathological liar says without absolute evidence is a mental illness."
That's not news, that's an opinion piece.
And it would get the BBC sued, since Trump hasn't been diagnosed with narcissistic disorder or convicted in a criminal court for child abuse.
There are enough blogs you can read that write like that, though.
I'm starting to doubt there have been ANY negotiations, Trump is straight up daydreaming this shit like those fights you always win in your imagination and then gets confused and thinks those imaginary negotiations were real.
The Iranian government has stated multiple times they don't know who Trump is even talking to when he claims those negotiation breakthroughs.
Hint - he lies more than he breathes.
His modus operandi is to say whatever he thinks makes him sound good in the moment. It's relation to reality is irrelevant.
In other words the end is not near and Trump is about to launch another wave of attacks. Check those stock markets.
Yep, blatant market manipulation as it was the whole time (and distracting from Epstein files of course).
How Trump has predicted Iran deal 37 times since March without one materialising
That was published a few days before his latest announcement.
May as well just pin this story.
are you saying trump is lying? well i never!
No one should listen to that toddler traitor
Narrator’s voice: “I really wish people would stop tagging me in all this shit. I mean everyone knows Trump is full of shit! What do you mean we’re- oh shit. The mic is hot. Uh. Crap. Uhm. Okay folks. Here it is. Narrator’s voice: He lied.”
At what point do even his supporters see the absurdity in his.
Rhetorical question - I know the real answer.
I feel like Trumps handlers are just trolling us. Like every two weeks they tell grandpa that the deal will be anyday now and he forgot when they told him last time so he just keeps repeating it and they are laughing off camera.
