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 don't want Iran or Israel to have nukes.
The point is one country having a nuke pushes others to have a nuke.
Which direction does Israel move us in when they physically have them now?
Is it a good thing that the second country gets a nuke as well?
In this case, Iran is ruled by a doomsday cult theocracy where let's say 10% of the population controls the other 90% as cattle. They honestly believe that their only purpose in life is to defeat Satan (literally translated into Israel and the US by their scholars) and then they can literally go to heaven and party like it's '99
Now you can say a lot about Israel, and I'm going to repeat that I don't want them to have nukes, but the comparison between a democratic Israel and doomsday cultist Iran is just...
A slight but very important bit of a difference that a lot of lemmings have lost sight of after seeing, sadly, too much videos of Palestinian toddlers being blown to smithereens
Its a bad thing for any country to have nukes. Period. Especial a country with such reckless nuclear policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option
Israel has nukes. so if you were Iran and Israel had nukes, what would you do? Would you be more or less likely to pursue a nuke?
Well if I were Iran, I'd declare that my religious doctrine is and always has been a sham, only used to oppress and murder innocent people since the dark ages up untill today, declare that all people should be treated equal regardless of gender, sexual preference or religion, repent for my past sins in any way possible and organise free and fair elections for the people of Iran.
Building a nuke would rank very low
So because Iran is an oppressive and religious state they wouldn't build a nuke?
They would. And it's in the interest of the world that they get stopped
What do you mean by stopped? Do you mean to say we should go to war with them?
