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.

Surely Iran wouldn't hit an election facility necessitating a federal takeover of elections right?
Federal takeover, no. Now, federalizing National Guard units and having them and ICE police polling places in swing states to make sure "people vote correctly"?
I'm gonna be honest, I don't even think Iran has any foreign sleeper cells or connections they can even use. Most of their diaspora are liberals that support the overthrow of the government, and they never made any ideological appeal for terrorism like Al Qaeda or ISIS.
As hilarious as it is, the CIA is probably struggling to find a foreign Iranian who would even care enough to bother lol.
First and only thing that came to mind. There's a reason this is "news".
Why not both?
Well, wouldn't you if some assholes decided to bomb your country?
If by "signal" they mean the numbers station which appeared at 7910 kHz and moved to 7842 kHz, then Iran is attempting to jam it.
Normally, one would not expect a country to jam its own means of communications, unless they are playing 5D chess or something.
Not surprising. This would be the moment to do it.
If they want to destroy America, the Bin Laden gambit is proven to work.
can't say that i'm surprised
It's a long shot, but it would be nice if these sleepers and the leadership activating them understood that there's a very specific demographic of Americans that wish ill on Iran and Muslims where the rest are disgusted by the current actions and have support for most Iranians and Muslims. It would at least narrow down their potential targets if there were going to be something that happens.
Be better than the US, Iran. Don't blow up a school. Look at voter maps and find the redist locations if you want to hurt this doing the most hurting.
