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.

I see one of two things happening here:
The least trustworthy source of information on this is the USA and its colonizer, Israel.
\3) Trump and co are manipulating the markets again
Well that’s just a forgone conclusion as it’s a day that ends in Y
Also Trump isn't saying much about the billions they are paying to an Iran rehabilitation fund to offset the bombing destructiin
*Iran "please end the war my midterm odds are entirely down the shitter oh please god" fund.
Please remember to point out to every MAGAt that:
Arguing semantics here, but this is a bit of a stretch. Iran has suffered very significant damage. A more accurate assessment would be that it withstood the US's onslaught without having their military or their government broken, and have exposed the US military as being too inept to properly wage war.
The takeaway is similar in the context of the war, but its the US that has fallen rather than Iran having risen, which has much more significant global implications.
Yeah I agree that Iran hasn't become stronger, they actually got weaker as well both due to US strikes and internal unrest. But if the peace deal includes the funding that was previously discussed they may rebuild and end up in a better position overall.
Number 2 is my bet. Gotta keep the ratings up through midterms.
Number 2? You mean shit?
I'm inyeresytonsee whether gas prices will actually go down, the deficit moving through the system right now is tremendous. We may still be in for some shit regardless
If CNN's stat guy is anything to go off of, you won't see pre-war gas prices until, optimistically, 2032.
And that's not even considering what Iran will inevitably do with total control over the Straight of Hormuz.
If Iran ends up in control of the strait they will just use it to hold the world by the balls. Nobody will want to upset them and go through this whole shit again.
No matter how much they regroup and reload will end up the same way. Missiles and drones are fast to build , interceptors are slow to build
Bibi already attacked Beirut
That was before the agreements
