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.

tonight radio-canada (the french-speaking counterpart to the CBC) was interviewing a lot of people from Iran, and one of the questions the interviewer asked was "so, with Khamenei dead, do you think people will go to the streets to protest their government and bring about regime change?" to which the interviewee just answered "no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!"
so idk about the usa but canadian state media certainly seems to want to spin it as an act of liberation 🤮
The same people who marched in Toronto begging Trump to invade Iran carrying King Pahlavi signs?
Help is on the way.
Right now everyone in the resistance is saying to stay inside while the bombing campaign is happening. They will wait for the signal to start the uprising. Because obviously taking to the streets when there's a bombing campaign happening is a really dumb thing to do.
Consider that this site might not be giving you all of the information about what's happening in Iran.
No way to know how many will take to the streets when they're told "it's time". Last time it was millions. The regime machine gunned down tens of thousands, bodies piled up in the streets, really horrific. This time I'd guess the resistance is going to have weapons air dropped to them and some drone support and intel. Should even things up.
There are very few people in Iran that don't know someone that was executed by the regime and the IRGC is being decimated. If the members of the IRGC were smart, they'd get out while they can, though I don't know who would take them. I suppose Russia is always looking for some more criminals to send to the front lines.
Best of luck to the resistance when the time comes.
They aren't here for regime change they are here for PR points and to distract from domestic problems.
A) They aren't going to ever tell you it's time because your needs never meant anything to them
B) There will be no weapons air dropped to you because your revolution is a non-goal for them.
C) The remaining military is still going to be mostly alive and capable of machine gunning you down again
D) The new leader will be as bad as the old in fact it will probably be one of his deputies who have already been largely running the show
Sounds like propaganda playing us. Piss off, all you are going to do is get these people killed as they rally around the flag.
