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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

As always, the article primarily gives the view as seen from Israel, Tel Aviv; But where is the view from Iran?
There's videos from both sides all over the internet what are you talking about
it seems to me as if we're mostly seeing videos about Israel getting hit in the news.
That matters because it distorts public perception: It makes it seem as if mean Iran is bombing Israel, while in fact it is also true that Israel is bombing Iran. It's about proportional reporting of facts.
The first video I saw on reddit was of Iranian fire fighters at that apartment building helping out
You can't get a good view of the bombing of Tel Aviv all the way from Iran.
You haven't seen people singing from their balconies during the night time: "death to khamenei!", have you?
That's the view from Iran. Do you accept the reality though... 💁
Yes. Iranians hate their government and want regime change, it's dubious wether this will help. Most likely it will be used by the regime for more crackdowns and cheap propaganda.
It is dubious wether bombing from afar can even achieve the stated goal (stopping the nuclear program). Hoping it will somehow magically bring about regime change is a stretch.
The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.
In Iran? I haven't seen any other claims of this, but if true that is like actual stereotypical comicbook supervillain behavior.
You’re downvoted but you’re correct. Iranians hate their government (rightfully so, it’s a repressive religious extremist police state) and will hopefully use the chance of a weakened Khamenei to finally overthrow the mullahs.
I just hope Israel's policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn't backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.
One wonders if that's the intention, like with Gaza and Hamas, people are driven to extremism by extreme circumstances and Israel at every step stopped anything but hamas from power to help themselves.
Israel killing civilians will not make iranians turn against the regime Even gaza with a lot more desperate people the protests against hamas are very low
The people already hate this regime.
No matter how much they hate the oppressive regime , a state that is known for genocide and killing civilians and be proud about it bombing them will not make them change the regime.
That's the first coherent take you had so far.
I don't give a damn what a random user like you think of my responses
You're responding an awful lot for someone who doesn't care :)
Learn to read. I said i don't care what you think about the quality of my comment. I didn't say i don't give a damn about what you are saying
Probably Tehran

I didn't see any interceptions. Just flak going off hitting nothing but air.
