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.
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.

"better off" 9news ignoring the thousands of Iranian civilians who have lost their lives during this stupid war. What a shitty news org.
It's clear the western world (media, politicians, etc) could not give less of a fuck about civilians in general
Pretty sure the current Iranian regime wouldn't either, which is probably the Iran the article title is talking about.
Iran isn't the people, it's the ruling class. It's the same way they talk about the US doing so well while most people struggle. It's all about the ruling class.
I read the article. It's worse than you think.
For the people who are still alive...
Fine, I'll reinstall Portal
Art of the deal!
I just realized yesterday was “4/7” - he DEFINITELY wanted a little bitchy boy victory “holiday” so he could claim he “won” politics and sell stupid hats
Taco Tuesday strikes again
Shart of the deal.
It’s 11D chess you plebs just don’t understand.
There's very little chance that the USA will accept the plan - among other things, that would mean paying reparations to Iran.
Trump will not agree to reparations, but he could explain to Iran that ending sanctions would get them money and also that he will not object to Iran keeping the toll money from the Strait of Hormuz.
Three peace president/deal maker strikes again!
Shhh...
