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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Agreed, but that's not the world we live in. And it is the extremist governments that have nukes. That's partly how the US gets away with making war in seven countries at once. (That we know of.)
I mean the US is not perfect, they also have a clown as a president that does so much harm.
However crazy that may be, Irans regime still has the complete obliteration of a country as their agende and goal. Surely these people should.never have nukes.
Iran was attacked by Israel not the other way around. Go figure.
Us is the biggest bully in at least the 50 last years bombing a dozen of countries, destroying many and organizing dozens of coups. But for yiu this is just a not perfect country and frame it as if trump is the only war criminal president
The same people who waited until they were attacked before fighting back? The same so-called extremists who, for decades, have worked within the international community to develop their nuclear program? (Before Donald decided to fund and arm an Israeli war against them, and this was after ordering assassinations of their leaders in his last admin.)
I think that you're listening to some very biased newscasts in constructing this opinion.
Wait so the Iran government are the good guys just wanting peace? What am i getting wrong here?
The fact that Iran evidently worked together and upheld the JCPOA, when the West was serious about diplomacy. Then Trump came and everyone was like "okay screw diplomacy, lets just keep increasing pressure and hope the country collapses"- Then Israel came and was like "lets bomb the shit out of them to have the West love me again and stop caring about the genocide i am committing." Then the West was like "hurr durr, Israel has the right to defend itself by attacking anyone and everyone whenever it pleases and why is Iran defending itself, how dare they?!"
When Israel assassinated politician in Iran last year. Iran only replied in a measured way to safe face, but seek deescalation. When Israel bombed Iran, Iran for the longest time did not retaliate and when it retaliated still only targeted spots with little risk of injuring or killing people, again being a "don't tread on me" reaction, without seeking escalation. Now Israel is completely out of their mind and went on to announce and celebrate direct attacks on Civilians, effectively telling Iran, that they are out for annihilating the country.
Just about everything.
You don't have to like their domestic policies, but they've been more than reasonable in their relationship to the international community. That can't be said about any government in Western Europe or their rabid dog occupying Palestine.
More reasonable by keeping threatening to destroy all of israel? By installing a clock im their capital counting down the hours of total destruction?
i am not saying what israel is doing is good either.
You can find both things these guys are doing horrible
Country? Or Western colonial regime that has been murdering and displacing the locals indiscriminately for decades? You're not getting me with semantics, friend.
It's always interesting to me when people unironically downplay the destruction the US government causes and has caused on a planetary, not even local scale.
Nobody is downplaying it, US has shittons of dirt on their hands and they should.be judged for that. Be that for their war crimes in Iraq or their dirty CIA tactics to de-stabilize foreign governments.
And right now Iran is developing nukes, a country thats agenda is to destroy a different state and murdering journalist and punishing women for being born the wrong gender
The US has nothing to do with these news, you can freely critizise the US in a newspost about them and rightfully so but this is about Iran and their plan to develop nukes to destroy Isreal.
You are spreading propaganda for a state that is actually commiting a genocide and want to destroy palestine
He's shamelessly getting paid for it, I assume. 🤷
That's just not true. It's our weapons being shot into Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. We have everything to do with this because it's impossible for these escalations to occur without US weapons shipments.
So you think Iran developing an atomic bomb is a solution for what exactly?
Israel bombing them.
Israeli aggression, and I wish someone would slip one or two nukes to Palestine as well.
So maybe if Iran didnt try to develop a-bombs then Israel would have no reason to attack.
But this guy figured it out, nukes for everyone is the solution.
Also teachers should have access to nukes so they can deter potential school shooters. And i need some nukes as well to defend my home /s
Logical fallacies don't lend credence to your argument. (Or your intellect.)
You're ignoring the most important detail. They did so while cooperating within the international community. That is, until the US decided to support, supply, and fund a war against them, thus making the development of nukes essential to their survival. (After ordering assassinations of their leaders and violating our own agreements with them.)
Oh did they cooperate? Why was there detection of weapon-able uranium then? Was that just an accident while trying to use nuclear power for good?
Yes.
I think we've already discussed this on the thread: US / Israeli aggression, both diplomatic and non-diplomatic. You are aware that the US withdrew from the former nuclear agreement, right? Donald prioritizes looking like a tough guy over successful diplomatic relations, at least against countries that can't fight back.
Originally, yes. Now? They're developing nukes by necessity, or are you not aware that Israel just attacked them?
