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.

You might want to level out that outage given Iran was invaded by a country that is currently at war with no less than three of it's neighbors and drives literally the exact same shit just on a larger scale.
Amazing that Trump and Bibi have gotten so many leftists to support an oppressive fundamentalist religious regime.
No one is supporting anything but the fact the US and Israel started a war for no reason they can state and stick to for longer then a child lacking object permanence.
You don't have to like Iran to say starting a war with them is idiotic and shouldn't be happening. You do however have to be acting in bad faith or have your head up your ass to see that as supporting the regime.
I absolutely agree. It was an incredibly stupid idea.
I'm not criticizing your criticism of the war. I'm criticizing your jumping to the defense of Iran that I should "level my outrage" at them due to them being at war. No. No I should not.
Two separate people so no obviously its nothing to do with my criticism.
No I mean the examples provided are exactly the same thing Israel does as well ie. You're outrage heavily favors Israel and the usa given the exact same stated issues occur from both but your outrage favors Israel "for some reason".
You're basically saying "nobody's perfect".
I was stating a fact. Not outrage.
No I'm saying there both doing the same thing but Israel is actively invading their neighbors in multiple. So two things they're both doing and one that only one is doing? Are those equal things? No. They for what "mystery reason" is your outrage directed at Iran and not Israel?
Also that's not a fact that's an opinion but sure, close enough for government work I suppose.
It's a fact that Iran has killed protesters and supported terrorist groups.
But if your contribution to every discussion is "oh yeah - other people are doing bad things" then you're pointless.
Opinion, not a fact. It includes some facts, it itself however is an opinion.
That's literally your position, Israel does the same shit and actively started the war with Iran that is the cause of the current instability but your statement implies Iran is the reason for the current instability which is just objectively observably incorrect.
Iran has been a problem like I dunno 1969 when they attempted to invade Israel, now the roles are reversed and your favoritism is still towards the instigator and aggressors.
You're a bigot, you could at least be honest about it or more subtle but at the moment you may as well be screaming "i don't like Muslims or brown people!" because none of your reasoning follows basic logic.
Again, amazing to see leftists going to bat for religious fundamentalists.
Oh buhu muh leftists, your entire presence in this thread reeks of desperation
Desperation for... What? What a stupid thing to say.
Both of them are religious fundamentalists my horrifically unobservant friend. No one is batting for anything but stopping a war.
I get that people love to deride America as descending into fascism but one of these two is LITERALLY a theocratic dictatorship with a "supreme leader" chosen from clerics to "guide" the nation according to their interpretation of Islam.
Notably I didn't do that you're generalizing because you have no leg to stand on.
Israel is also a theocracy they just don't call it that, you're quite literally less of a citizen if you aren't ethnically Jewish and less so if you aren't a practicing Jew.
Fun fact the current administration is lobbying to make raping detainees legal in as well as adding the death penalty for being an accused insurgent.
Way to shill in favor of war, doesn't make a damn bit of sense but goddamn look at you go.
If you got that from this conversation you're an idiot.
Bro you are the last person who should be critiquing reading comprehension.
You are supporting the oppressive fundamentalist religous regimes in the usa and israel
