What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Not surprise when they can even get away assainating people in allies countries like in france

Starmer will always be a mystery to me.
Most of the PMs are corrupt. The rest were idiots.
But Starmer just sits there doing nothing but protecting Israel genocide and the arms industry.
I would love to sit down with him and ask “WTF is wrong with you?"
I don't know if there is more than one ultimate source, but here are some other proximate sources:
- The Times of Israel: US indirectly warned Iran during talks that Israel might try to kill its top negotiators — NYT, with a note that Israel dismisses the report as fake news
- The New York Times: U.S. Officials Believed Israel Was Plotting to Kill Iranian Negotiators
- The Washington Post: U.S. warned Iran about Israel’s aims to assassinate leaders
These are just the first three results when I searched for other reports of this. There are many more.
Of course, telling a lie and having it reported by many media outlets doesn't make something true. Trump has proven this many times. But when a story is reported by multiple credible outlets, there is something deserving attention and investigation to determine the truth, at the very least.
Conspiracy to Murder and Attempted Murder are crimes in many jurisdictions and I see reports that suggest that even in Israel, at least some people are sometimes charged with at least the latter crime.
In this case, I think it is unlikely the alleged crime will be investigated in any meaningful way, let alone anyone being charged or convicted.
They had already killed two people the US wanted to negotiate with
From NYT: "...Israel prioritized targeting the leadership in the early phase of the war, intent on killing as many high-ranking officials as it could.
That included killing potentially more pragmatic leaders that the Trump administration had hoped to negotiate with, such as Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official, and Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister. Both men were involved in the negotiations with the United States when they were killed in Israeli airstrikes."
