A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Tehran Times is completely untrustworthy in this context, they're - essentially a propaganda outlet for the islamist theocratic regime in Tehran. Given that they make such an absurd claim and that it hasn't been independently verified - this is likely false.
See link below regarding Tehran Times:

How trustworthy is that website? I'm not sure if I'm reading news or propaganda
Not very credible: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/tehran-times/
Iran uncovered the Israeli plot through information shared by a friendly nation. Upon learning of the potential attack, Iranians sent messages to U.S. officials, and prevented the planned explosion from occurring.
If this is true, this could only be russia, right?
Qatar maybe, or Saudi. Someone there are a lot of countries who are interested in keeping the US out of the Middle East. (The bases notwithstanding)
Qatar is definitely my guess. They're one of the few nations that are friendly with both Iran and the US.
But do Qataris have a deep penetration into israeli operations? That's why I said russia, they are the only friends of Iran who have that a large footprint inside Israel
I don't doubt it for even a second.
Given what happened with covid, I'm not convinced this administration would stop an attack on a blue city/state.
No question about it IMO.
At this point, I don't even think they'd bother pretending otherwise. Trump would go on Truth.social and post an unhinged screed that pretty much boiled down to "Serves 'em right."
And the media wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.
I doubted it for several seconds then looked at a picture of Bibi's face 🤡
I second that you don't doubt it.
Iran uncovered the Israeli plot through information shared by a friendly nation. Upon learning of the potential attack, Iranians sent messages to U.S. officials, and prevented the planned explosion from occurring.
Now only said "US Official" can confirm the claim.
Actually no, as there are some public information sources that could be tapped to find a corresponding number of arrests.
Assuming there were arrests.
Yeah, seems like something Trump was prob aware of. I wouldn't put it past him.
I’m thinking about those terrorist videos that used to come out with dudes yelling “death to America” and beheading people. That stuff could easily be AI generated these days to stir up conflict.
