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 Iranian regime are misogynistic, homophobic warmongers.
A female singer was recently whipped for openly singing without a hair covering.
The urban Iranians have been calling for these leeches to fuck off for years and are murdered en-masse for standing up to them as a result and their dead cold bodies hung from street lights as a warning to everyone else. We have seen huge mass demonstrations constantly attacked by the regime's thugs on motorbikes.
Israel and the US were wrong to attack Iran back in March, and were wrong to have murdered anyone. They are equally violent, warmongering murderous regimes probably more so.
But let's not infantilise the Iranian islamic regime and system, it's a system where a violent, corrupt theocracy that refuses to listen to its own people.
The American media paints them as such to whip up domestic hate and justify mass murder.
It's so much easier to show a flattened building or bloody backpack if you can tell yourself "these are savage animals, not people, and they got what they deserved"
A story about an appeals case centering on a 2024 indecency conviction was resurrected by the US media to justify the ongoing war.
The singer wasn't "recently whipped". She was recently in court contesting the charges.
What do you think "infantilise" means and why does it justify sponsoring terrorism inside the country?
Are you equivocating for a regime that can't be removed from power whipping women for singing without wearing a hair covering there.
You're right she wasn't whipped she was found guilty and will be whipped.
it's a barbaric regime and the Iranian people are sick of the tollahs wasting their nations wealth on funding wars in other countries while cost of living consumes them, if they protest they get murdered by the state.
The clerics have been filling their own pockets with the country's wealth since 1979, they are as crooked as trump and year after year the Iranian people bravely go out on the streets to protest them and are gunned down.
Islamism is a terrible political solution that can only be kept in power by force and repression.
Fuck the Iranian regime.
Do you know how the IRGC got into power to begin with? And does the existence of Regime Change make corporal punishment acceptable, somehow?
How quickly we've moved from the inhumanity of prisoner abuse (in Muslim countries) to the inhumanity of Iranians spending their oil money wrong.
Crazy how it all comes back to money with you sick fucks.
Which war Iran started? The war monger is you manufacturing consent for the war of agression on Iran
Trump rapes children, stop it, there is no comparison we're the bad guys here.
I don't actually believe this is true but I'm willing to reconsider if there's actual proof. If he's actually a pedophile I'd advocate for his killing as I do for everyone who hurts kids.
