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 believe it. People forget what was going on in Iran before the strikes. Massive protests that were brutally put down.
But since on lemmy "America is bad" then that automatically means "Iran is good".
Lazy whiny strawman argument lol
People also forget what happened before the protests. The sanctions led to the high prices that made the merchants protest.
It's like Syria or Libya, first there are the protests, then the military actions of the West.

America didn't make the regime kill thousands of protesters.
It's the tankie situation. Use violence and maintain the regime and be hated or do nothing and be overthrown. Those protests are organised, among others by the son of the former shah. It's trading one dictatorship for another.
There is no way that the regime gives up their power voluntarily. So it's possible to say that America caused the deaths by seeding the protests.
The irony of the people that complain that "on people just say America Bad" is that you're just exposing your own ignorance at this point.
"America bad" is your own cope for reality. So you believe "it's complicated" comments that make you feel comfortable and like you have some non biased take.
You dont. You're coping for having to deal with the reality that the majority of the world's population has had to experience for decades by having bombs dropped on them. You're coping so hard that you agreed with a comment with made up ratios and a "trust me bro" source. 160 school children were confirmed killed on the FIRST day of the war in ONE strike. Did we kill 160,000 IRGC that day that I'm unaware of? Use your brain mate. Please.
Edit: Technically it was multiple strikes on the same school. Because, when we bomb schools we gotta make sure we hit it a second time once all of the first responders go in and try to help dying children.
Iran killed thousands of protesters.
Trump literally admitted to arming agitators within the protest. This is American Imperialism 101 dude. Sanctions, Agitation, wait for state violence to occur, bomb the fuck out of everything.
You know what would help the people of other countries improve their governments and civil rights? If America stopped fucking with them.
The usa killed thousands of iranians
America is bad and you are a psycho for backing up the usa and israel wwo want to genocide Iranian
