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.

Pure market manipulation.
Trump / Rubio : we're close to a deal. It's pretty much done.
Iran: we're not close and Trump is just saying otherwise to manipulate the media.
Media: Deal is close but doubts linger.
It is interesting that I believe the Iranian news over the US regime.
Yeah... what a fuckin world, eh?
It's actually quite bizar that a lot of us went from 'the US says so, so it must be true' to 'the US says so, so it must be a lie', within a year.
I remember Iraq having WMDs.
I stopped paying attention after George said it was all good in front of that Mission Accomplished banner. I assume the parades for the liberators were amazing though.
Secretary of War & Death, Peter H, must be a very happy man right now, in Jesus’ name, amen
Indeed!
I'm dumb so apologies but, what's the manipulation? Stock markets have been closed all weekend including Memorial Day. How does re-igniting the war ~12 hours before it opens affect it?
As soon as the market opens, it goes into panic mode and tanks. Pedohitler buys stock, then on friday announces a deal (causing the market to rise again) and he sells for profit. Rinse and repeat.
Ah I see, thanks for the explanation!
New York, London, Hong Kong, and Chicago were closed.
Euronext, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Toronto were open.
What happened? They find another threatening school?
The oil markets opened so they can now sell all the expensive oil that they bought at cheap prices last week.
Ah yes, this must be that finalized peace deal trump has been talking about.
The latest little pump and dump? Yesterday they hype up the state of negotiations, buy oil futures, today they attack southern Iran, sell oil futures?
I read something earlier where Iran said the deal wasn't as done as Trump made it out to be, and they're not really trustworthy of the whole process as they've already been bombed ~~twice~~ three times now during negotiations
