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.

Three things can be true at once, its good that Iran is being helped, Trump is doing this illegally and the EU should have acted and do this based on International Law a long time ago.
Who the actual fuck do you think you are? Killing children isn't helping Iran and will never help Iran. What you just said was so fucking colonizer-brained it's unreal, please point out which school in your neighbourhood you'd want bombed if it meant the city finally implemented better public transit. You'd what, welcome a nuke in D.C. if it meant the fascists were gone? 9/11 was helping the Americans by attacking the capitalists? There would not be a fucking oppressive regime in Iran if the US did not overthrow their democratically elected government half a century ago. How the fuck are you talking about this like you know anything? Some people told you it was bad there and you wat, never even tried to learn why that happened?
Legality also does not fucking matter, laws are enforced on the vulnerable to the benefit of the powerful. How many invasions do you think the US has conducted legally, exactly?
Iran is being "helped" by bombing schoolgirls?
I do believe you are deliberately not reading or understanding the point.
I have Iranian friends that fled for their lives from the Iranian regime. I've seen their videos and heard their stories. Trust me, they have lost 1000's of schools full of schoolgirls because of the current regime. They will gladly except another few if it means stopping the regime.
THAT is the level of absolute horror these people have been living with for decades now. We cannot be mad about what is happening now to prevent worse.
p.s. I still have nightmares from their videos. I lost all faith in humanity that day, and it took a while to get some of it back...
Iranians can have complaints about their situation, without looking for a Zionist puppet to rule over them.
Exactly! You get it. Right now they are glad to get rid of one dictator, let's hope the future is one they get to choose themselves.
Nice Zionist atrocity propaganda, surely an Iraq-style "government reorganization" will help wonders! No mention of the current government in Iran being literally the consequence of western meddling!
If the west wanted a secular democratic government in Iran we wouldn't have destroyed Mosaddeq's political project and reinstated an authoritarian Shah. We want an underdeveloped and servient Iran to exploit their oil cheaply, literally the same story every decade.
The question is: did you fall for the atrocity propaganda yourself yet another decade? Or are you willingly running Zionist atrocity propaganda?
Good lord. You guys are angry.
I do not want to make it worse, but I truly feel you do not understand. Or you have not lived a hard life, for which I'm somewhat jealous.
So yes, the regime was a result of the west in the first place. And it was not going to be pretty to fix it. And Trump is not doing this to fix it, but to ... well .. I do not know, take people's minds off of the Epstein files? Make money? I don't know, but I hate him for it.
And I'm not "trading" a school for "better roads" are you mental (This one is from another poster btw, @orioler25@lemmy.world )? Everybody would choose the lesser of two evils. So 80 schoolchildren or 10000's of them? If you HAD to choose? And these people do, they have to choose, and they've been forced to make these and other hard choices for decades now. And you come along and DARE to say what is happening now is bad? Where where you the past decades?
I have no love for the capitalists, for the colonizers, for Israel, USA, EU. I do however love people. And the fact these people have had to make real politik like choices? Makes me sad. I see the truth of it though. And I hope you guys will as well some day.
"Realpolitik choices make me support the genocidal Zionist regime and the US in their attempt to destroy Iranian sovereignty to turn Iran into another Iraq, Syria or Libya"
Hell no. Again, multiple things can be true at once. USA is bad. Komeini is bad. At this moment, many people are glad at least one of them is gone.
You've shown your true colours. Regardless, the antizionist axis of resistance will defeat the empire's genocidal forces, they're already being humilliated. Cope.
Totally, yeah dude, "invite the genocidal imperialists in to aid in the revolution" is the mentality of a person who has experienced any level of oppression. You've had a very hard life, I'm sure, typical Euro Lib who thinks having to do anything is adversity. You had to study for your exams? That's about the same as having your entire life bombed into oblivion, or at the very least you know as well as someone who did experience that because you watched a video.
Gaslighting language and ignorance, you really are a bad person.
I hope you will awaken from the Maga cult some day. You are currently an unpleasant person the way you attack. Be better.
The enemy of my enemy is something the people in Iran currently feel about the US and Israel. Never said they are or should glad with the USA or Israel. But currently, they are happy there is an end to the dictatorship they had to endure. Let's hope they do not get a new one.
