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.
-
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.

A major reason we had this war was Iran enriching Uranium for nukes. No country but Iran wants Iran to have nukes, least of all their immediate neighbors. Iran continuing to go for nukes in the future ensures this war happens again.
that has been a lie since netanyahu since the late 90s, and bush the early 2000s it never has been true.
Pakistan literally sold them the uranium enrichment technology bruh.
Even ignoring the ridiculousness of this comment, they got their jumpstart thanks to their immediate neighbor.
Why would you ever and I mean ever believe the trump administration about anything? They don't even believe this excuse, as evidenced by the rotating list of vague reasons they've given for this unjust war.
Based on the belligerence and untrustworthiness of the global hegemon (the US) and its client state (Israel), getting nukes is the only rational move for smaller countries like Iran. That is the environment that we have cultivated.
Given how outrageously aggressive Israel is in this region, another nuclear power would be an effective check and probably usher in a new era of peace in the region.
Their neighbors across the strait are all Shia muslims, and Iran is Shite muslims.
The reason they want Iran eliminated as a regional power is that they can be the regional power and fuck over other Shite muslims like they did to Yemen.
The Saudis and Gulf States are Sunni, not Shia.
Claims about Iran having nukes ready soon have gone on for decades. Khameneyi 1 was very against them. As for who wants Iran to have nukes, I do, and I hate the government with all my heart. I want them to have nukes because I don't see the regime going away, at least while Israel and USA exist, and nation-states, especially those two, only language they know is extreme violence. Of course, if we lived in a historical vacuum divorced from patriarchy I'd want no one to have mikitary grade weapons at all, let alone nukes. My conspiracy theory is that Iran doesn't and won't need nukes. They can just go along with the lies that they already have them. There's probably a reason they don't though.
Hush. Adults are talking.
