Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I said that?
Edit: I'm getting tired of people accusing me of saying things I didn't. Noticing a pattern...
If not, what does this mean?
How does this community treat statements from Iran?
With no problem, right? I mean, ymmv depending on the user...
That sounds exactly like what I just said- that they are automatically valid and not needing corroboration.
However you phrase it, please provide evidence.
Doesn't sound like exactly what you said, but I'll play along in whatever way you're interpreting this. Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran's statements and those made against Israel are typically taken at face value, and those who take issue are largely downvoted. Comments made by Israel or against Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran are met with nearly polar opposite reactions. Related, there seems to be a tendency to downplay criticism of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran with unsourced opinions and whataboutisms (particularly users attempting to frame others as supporters of genocide). Users downplay or are even willing to lie about what was said in order to garner sympathy for Iran and criticize Israel or the IDF (even when the reporting is corroborated by other reliable sources). Even comments attempting to claim both parties involved are bad are downvoted (for example, most discussions regarding human shields). Articles critical of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran are outright called propaganda. A short list to demonstrate my points:

There's more but I have actual work to do.
So take "no problem" however you want, my points stand in a variety of interpretations. Going through my comment history also illuminates much of what I have a problem with here, that being critical of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran is met with accusations of supporting genocide (if it weren't for the fact that this is considered uncivil and the comments get removed, I could source those, but check the mod logs if you don't believe me). I also take issue with the Middle East Monitor, New Arab, and Al Jazeera being paraded around as though they're legitimate news sources, while highly reliable Israeli publications are questioned, which objectively supports my points too.
Edit: I'll also cite this post too in the list :) who wants to bet there's some small detail that would disqualify these posts as they pertain to my assessment? Despite all these things being quotable throughout the list?
Your first two links had nothing to do with Iran. I stopped there since you clearly aren't being honest.
Only if you don't consider Hamas as a proxy of Iran. I'm objectively being honest.
Except you're not, because this is what you said:
Then you linked to things that were not FROM IRAN at all. The first one was a fucking Guardian article. Are you really going to claim that the Guardian works with Iran?
The first is a middle east monitor article. And Hamas/Hezbollah=Iran. Also, entirely missing the point, my points are very clearly illustrated here.
Okay, now you're just lying.
Unless you also believe that the Mujehadin = The U.S.
Were the Mujehadin the U.S.?
Hmm, I feel that divorcing Iran's proxies from Iran is more disingenuous (and I'm not lying about their relation). It's also not refuting the content of the posts, which again, clearly illustrate my point. Sorry, and thanks for the discussion!
You claimed I defended Hamas.
I guess you lied.
Please quote where I said you defended Hamas. (Hint: I didn't)
That's another user...
Edit: and who said I was specifying the Iranian military?
