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.

The Iran leadership has been acting like civilized humans while the American pedophile coalition has been trashing, yelling and sinking deeper in their war crimes and genocidal drivel like barbarians and animals. If Iran disappears we will always remember this.
Which is wild, since a couple months ago most of the world would have said that Iranian leadership were murderous psychopaths for killing thousands of civilian protesters. Yet, here we are with those same leaders being the adults in the room.
I guess your authoritarian regime starts to look good when the Americans slaughter an elementary school full of your children?
I don't understand the need to paint everything in black and white, not every conflict has a straight-forward "good guy" or "bad guy" - the US is self-interested and hates Iran because the current regime challenges US hegemony and deposed a US-backed autocrat to get in power. Meanwhile, Iran is a horrible, authoritarian theocracy that engages in medieval criminal punishment spectacles. It's all bad.
Donald trump the United States president just made it perfectly clear that they were arming protesters to incite violence. And the Israeli leadership was proudly saying out loud that the protesters were agitated by their agents. Anyone with half a brain can realize that this whole propaganda push wasn't about helping the Iranian people, but to de-stabilize Iran in order to plunder it's resources and remove any opposition of Israel's planned genocide in the region. Now that their plans failed. They will ditch any humanitarian pretense and just kill all the people they were so preoccupied in saving.
The playbook of Americans and zionists: cry bullying and feigning concern so that they can destroy you. The middle east is just the beginning, we are all next.
You should always remember it regardless, and learn to recognize the signs decades before they bear fruit. This is the culmination of a long and multifaceted process. Reject nationalism, reject regulatory capture, reject media monopolization.
I was very young when George Bush made up the weapons of mass destruction to invade Iran, and I remember at that time they were at least trying to manufacture some consensus about the war. Then I remember Afghanistan and Syria and slowly becoming aware not only of how imperialism works but also how it makes the arguments for genocide. The difference between then and now is that it's becoming impossible for the defenders of genocide to make arguments for this. The Nazi state is outwordly brazen now and it will take a world coalition to stop it.
