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.

This man fucks
The newspaper noted, however, that in a 2019 interview, Ahmadinejad praised President Trump and argued for a rapprochement between Iran and the US.
Everyone who goes on TV is automatically interviewing for a position in the Trump regime.
So: Israel decided to murder Iran's true opposition (by bombing Evin last year), then murdered their doves (all the top-level reformists who were willing to negotiate with the West), and - get this - they were trying to bomb Iran's stupidest former politician out of house-arrest, but this caused even him to realize that he can't work with the Israelis.
This guy - Ahmadinejad - is not just grossly incompetent, he's also a holocaust denier and has been calling for Israel to be wiped off the map. That's right, when Americans/Israelis complain that Iran has been calling for wiping Israel off the map, they mean mother fucking Ahmadinejad. And he's the guy they wanted to put in charge. And it's easy to see why - they don't want peace, they want chaos and a failed state.
While Iranian leadership is generally not antisemitic, Ahmadinejad is a moron and a buffoon and likely also an actual antisemite (not quite sure, he might just be so stupid that he thinks that fronting like an antisemite might make him look tough). No camp respects him, and he would not have been able to lead a government even if Israel didn't botch their plan.
[checking my notes to see what happened to the last guy we put in charge of Iran]
Its not "US and Israel" its the US doing what Israel pays them to do. Details matter.
It is the usa and israel. Stop whitewashing the evil united snakes empire.
As an Iranian I want to be very clear that Iran's position is that the USA is the problem. Not Trump and definitely not Netanyahu.
Americans debate whether Israel is "wagging the dog", as though America is the dog being controlled by its tail (Israel). Iranians think of the relationship as: hostile owner (America) of a rabid attack dog that it can barely control (Israel). But it's the owner who's responsible, not the dog.
I know that some Iranians that participate in English-speaking media play along with the American narrative that Israel is controlling the United States. That's manipulative propaganda on their part. It's designed to confuse Americans and weaken the USA, while playing along with or at least not contradicting the narratives that Americans tell themselves. It's for US consumption, not what they believe.
Internally in Iran these ideas have no traction. They see Israel as an imperialist tool to destabilize the Middle East, which is the geopolitically most important region on the planet and must not be allowed self-determination lest the empire be doomed. It's a vestige of the British Empire, inherited by the USA.
Make of this what you will.
But it is true to an extent that Israel exerts influence in US politics. AIPAC funds politicians' campaigns.
Aipsac is funded by the american zionists.
I read up a bit about AIPAC, and yes, it's true that as far as we can tell, at least since 1954, there's no direct funding by Israel (couldn't find a reliable source concerning the claim of clandestine direct funding of AZC by Israel, so it might never have been the case). But there's a lot of collaboration between Israel and AIPAC. So, in a way, Israel does influences the US, but it's entirely thanks to US citizens happy to help them. It's not clear to me why they are happy to.
"Pay"... they dont pay... russians pay. Israel is just pure evil blackmail.
Just a feint; he will be installed at U of M to return them to the glory days. The disgraceful stain of the Ohio regime shall be wiped off the map.
So, they want to put a loudmouth edgelord in charge.
Chaos on purpose, for profit.
