A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

If some foreigner bombed my country's girl's school then I would want them killed as well. This is obvious. We didn't need to hear it from trump (but his media owning billionaire buddies like to give him all the platform he needs).
Why would any half-way competent strategist in Iran ever want to kill the man who is doing the most to defeat Iran's enemy?!
I mean, sure, in Iran like everywhere else there are plenty of simpletons who only understand war at the 5-year-old level of "we have to do to them what they did to us", so those will say (or be told) that "we shall kill Donald Trump", but surelly the people in the Iranian leadership who have come up with and are deploying the very successful strategy of attacking American and Israeli interests in the Middle East and turning American allies against America, are well aware of the role of Donald Trump in repeatedly putting his foot on the obvious trap and seriously amplifying the damage of it.
I mean, for all they, like almost all American Presidents in the XX and XXI century, were murderous sociopaths, imagine if it was Obama, Reagan or even Bush (well, Senior, maybe not Junior) in this situation (for the sake of simplificity, imagine that it was already ongowing when they got the job): I very much doubt their handling of it would be this incompetent, out of control, flip-flopping obviously corrupt grift entirelly subservient to Israel.
Well heres to hoping they succeed.
Do they? Didn't they just make bank like they haven't in a long time? I know a lot of civilian infrastructure has been threatened, but has any of it been hit, or have they had to close wells?
Do it.
Faster, Iran! Faster!
He made himself the No.1 target. Not just for Iran. Both previous attempts came from his own people.
TIL Iran is the US's greatest ally?
Someone hurry up and do it
I mean, I get it.
Well he did assassinate their leader so it's not like they don't have a reason to
Not just the leader, wife and daughter and grand daughter were also killed. Trump is also bombing their country during the state funeral.
Why would they do this favor to the U.S.?
I think that no other President in American History would be this good at amplifying the damage to America of the strategy that Iran is deploying.
Trump's servile posture towards Israel alone guarantees that America's neck remains on the noose it pretty much made for itself.
Just Iran? I'll bet we could do a global poll and it would be so many more countries.
At least 50% of the global population would want him gone
How dare anyone even think that!...............
Idc how it happens lmfao
I think there is a decent sized percentage of hard right people who would do it if they could figure out how. I mean so far it's always them that do crazy shit.
Guy who drove a burning Tesla into the trump building.
Guy in golf course with a gun
Kirks alleged shooter.
Oh and Trump's "alleged shooting" shooter. Also alt right.
It's a irrational pipeline for violence.
Crazy men who have lost their families and friends due to their trump allegiance. Now disillusioned. Out for justice.
Some ex military.
How about past rape victims
The future rape victims haven't thought of it yet, but for self preservation maybe they should start planning things
they are too young to make plans yet
I despise reactionaries, religious or not. So it's hard to say whether I hate the mullahs or MAGAts more.
yes, thats how that works. you randomly started a war that killed their leader and 150 children in the first few days.
justifiably, everyone with a critically thinking neuron wants you dead
the narcissism is deep
Don't threaten me with a good time.
That would be the most proportionate response.
Oh please.
Trump's the best thing that's happened to the Iranian government in years.
There's no way they'd want to assassinate a deranged moron who's united the country under their rule, hamfistedly provided them with excuses for whatever aggression they want to engage in and is such an incompetent boob that he can't manage to effectively counter a single move that they make.
I swear that Americans (yes, I am one) simply have no real concept of what war is. They think it's like Call of Duty or some shit.
No dude, their leader was assassinated, schools are being bombed, their infrastructure is being blown up, one of their main sources is income has been shut down for like 6 months. They're not benefiting from this.
Don't forget the buckets of cash
He's #1 target among his own voters too...
Hey, get in line, Iran!
Lol no one wants to assassinate a senile loser who fucks up everything he touches and won't stop touching things.
A leader who's a staunch supporter of his enemies and a dire threat to his allies.
Inshallah
You threatened their negotiators lives at the negotiating table. Fuck all the way off crybully bitch
I suspect Trump got some control (how much is real and how much is performative is unclear) of Venezuela by threatenning the surviving Venezuelan leaders with the same fate as Maduro, since the US never sent anywhere enough troops to that country to actually conquer it - actually facing the entire Venezuelan military (and any subsequent guerrilla warfare if they actually won) would be a whole different ball game from a single special ops action.
Since that worked to get some control over Venezuela, I bet that with these threats (and his open threaths on the lives of the current Iraninan leadership and even his starting of the war by taking out the Iranian Supreme Leader) he was basically trying to do the same thing to Iran as he did to Venezuela.
Don’t tease me with a good time.
Has this been posted in the wrong group? UpLiftingNews is more fitting.
That's for when he finally dies. No matter how it happens.
b..b..based
I'm pretty sure Netanyahu is No. 1. As far as Iran is concerned, Trump is just a moron with a mental disorder.
Netanyahu would be nice to get rid of, but Israeli society is more or less united against Iran so it wouldn't matter much in the big picture.
Doesn't matter if Netanyahu goes or not. They would put Netanyahu Mk Ⅱ in charge.
Please.
All the best to Iran on the hunt.
Wow, he’s actually right about something.
Except for who's the scum.
Iran is still a theocratic regime that executes people for just protesting. Both sides can be scum in a war.
Oh no, I sure hope they don't have a GoFundMe and someone shares the link.
