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.

Iran had a deal with the US and you fucked it up you inbred, narcissistic cunt!
Jfc.
What he did in his first term caused Iran align with Russia and help them with war in Ukraine.
This is his primary objective. This is why he also didn't help protesters. He absolutely doesn't want overthrow Russia friendly government.
Same with Venezuela (goal there was to force China to buy Russian oil)
Withdrawal the nuclear deal with Iran in first term. Threaten Iran for not coming to the negotiating table for nuclear deal in 2nd term.
Art of the deal
Let's just hope it's one of the last few bites of the empire before all it can do is bark. These days seem to be a big turning point for Western imperialism, the future is both hopeful and scary.
Peso in Chief needs a new distraction
If he pulls a Maduro on Khomeini that would be fucking hilarious. But like in Venezuela, he'd likely leave the existing power base in place, which is a lot less funny.
The thing is with Venezuela the line of succession was clear and the State was unified.
With Iran from what I understand there isn’t a clear successor as the original figure died in a helicopter crash. And in terms of Unity although the State looks to be working there are reports of tension between the IRGC and the Regular Military.
Not to mention the Iranian Protest movement is looking to remove the current State and have it replaced with something else (with an obvious Monarchist Faction in the movement.) meanwhile for Venezuela it’s opposition movement is ostensibly in exile
Who cares what he says anymore. He said he would Venezuela Iran if they killed protesters, didn't do shit. This guy has diarrhea of the mouth and clicking on his stories feeds him
The dude shits he’s paints in front of everyone.
