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.

Why nobody mention that Saudi arabia restarted the war by attacking an envoy returning from Khamanei funeral leading to this?
You have a link?
Iran really should assassinate the leaders of the Saudis and UAE. Patience is a virtue, just get the pieces in place, and wait.
There's a genocidal war criminal in Israel could use a bit of that.
I mean they literally invented assassins, the whole thing writes itself.

They are ruled by families, killinggnillik and they current leaders is useless
Who is gnillik? What is happening here? I get that it's a palindrome but why?
Just because someone else will take their place doesn't mean it's useless, that logic would make killing any leader worthless, which is not the case at all.
The royal families of both the Saudis and the UAE are legitimate, and valuable targets for the Iranians to hit. If they don't, then it will just encourage future harm against their country.
It really worked so well for the US killing the leader of Iran. Basically won them the war in one stroke. /s
We have an obvious and pertinent example of a decapitation strike on political leadership not being a particularly good strategy from a military standpoint. Iran seems to be conducting itself much in a much less emotionally reactive way than this, so I doubt we'll see it unless they really are falling apart internally and are just trying to lash out in revenge on their way down.
You are equating the evil empire assassinating a leader with a underdog assassinating the evil empire leaders?
GTFO.
You may end up with even worse more extreme leaders. I just don't see the advantages of assassination . Better focus on ruining those countries foreign and imperialist interests
You could also end up with less extreme leaders. When you already have extremist fascist genocidal psychopaths running the show, you're saying that maybe there will be another extremist fascist genocidal psychopath taking their place.
Ok? I'll take that chance then because if it doesn't change anything then let's keep killing them as they pop up until we get one that isn't an extremist fascist genocidal psychopath anymore.
You don't have to stop after the first one.
So Hitler shouldn't have been killed? Stalin? Mussolini? What about a little tin pot dictator sitting on oil wealth abusing their citizens and neighbors with the help of the biggest bully in the world that they stroke off?
In truth, there is only one thing bullies understand, and losing an amount of money isn't it in this case.
I really find your argument incredible.
I feel like you don't know much about the dirty deeds these guys have been up to since mohhammed bin tuna here took power. They've assassinated a lot of people by the way, using american mercenary firms.
One man regime vs family regime are different
Even then, look at how fucked up Iraq is and how hundreds of thousands and possibly over a million civilians died in the process.
