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.

Good. Iran needs to change. The regime is too oppressive killing any Protestant how can anyone expect change other than violence. It would be good for the world too, no terrorism and more western Iran would great.
This backpack (CW: Blood) belonged to an elementary school kid who was killed yesterday after the U.S. and Israel targeted her school.
Take a look at the picture, and tell us all again how it's a good thing.
Get fucked, calling starting a war "good". Learn some empathy before you die a monster.
Just because an end result can be positive (this is yet to be seen here), the means to that end are highly arguable. The US is not, despite what they seem to think, the world police.
Just like with overthrowing the dictatorial former president of Venezuela, this is not the US's place.
You think that the US bombing Iran is going to reduce terrorism? What the fuck do you think inspired alqaeda and ISIS? This will validate every terrorist organization's hate for america.
Please read any amount of history before regurgitating talking points on a subject that you clearly do not understand.
Iranians (I'm from Iran and lived there 5 years) are unable to change regime cuz they are killed by their own nation! 30,000 people+ past two months. This is nothing yet this war. They can't even travel abroad freely like any free human should be able to!!! They aren't allowed. They filter internet. What are u talking about. So leaders there must die and the normal people need to take over! No other option of anyone normal getting in power in this situation. Plus the economic growth. Iran needs to westernize, needs to progress and become a free country. Not fucking going BACKWARDS in human progress! By blocking any American product, internet, traveling abroad, not allowing hair to be shown, not being able to touch a woman in public, or tv show or movie, wtf! The majority of Iranians are not like that, but they are forced to accept it.
Because if the last 25 years have taught us anything, it's that the US going to war with Islamist nations creates regional peace and stability...
FTFY. Maybe start preaching at home.
Edit: fixed it even more. Also that account is a sleeper troll from the post history seems like, but I stand by what I said.
