A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

He makes a constant effort every single day to make everyone hate him, why is he surprised?
The mullahs hate America, so it would make more sense for them to let him live so that we suffer more.
Wait, didn't he just few months ago literally assassinate the iranian head of state? I mean good riddance but still.
Also an iranian general in his previous term.
Why would anyone want to assassinate Trump? He's got a matter of weeks left. A few months at most.
I think they have some concoction/process that keeps him upright and concious for about a month at a time.
He's fucking bragging about how much if a piece of shit he is that other people want to kill him. Bragging. That's all his life is about, bragging about this or that
Sometimes his bragging is hilarious.
On Italian TV there was a sports show where some pundit was saying "no but Infantino would have never bent the rules like this, it is because they noticed some problem with the VAR and we're going to get explainations soon" - meanwhile the control room was showing on the back monitors trump "truthing" his bragging "I corrupted FIFA and I am proud of it"
He just wants someone to make answering for his crimes go away
I'm honestly surprised every time I see Trump on screen his face isn't just completely obscured by a massive amount of red laser sight dots.
Seriously though, are there just no good assassins left in this world?
If some foreigner bombed my country's girl's school then I would want them killed as well. This is obvious. We didn't need to hear it from trump (but his media owning billionaire buddies like to give him all the platform he needs).
Just Iran? I'll bet we could do a global poll and it would be so many more countries.
At least 50% of the global population would want him gone
Finally a poll that he would win by a landslide
TIL Iran is the US's greatest ally?
Well, I hope it works out for them.
yes, thats how that works. you randomly started a war that killed their leader and 150 children in the first few days.
justifiably, everyone with a critically thinking neuron wants you dead
the narcissism is deep
Well he did assassinate their leader so it's not like they don't have a reason to
Not just the leader, wife and daughter and grand daughter were also killed. Trump is also bombing their country during the state funeral.
He made himself the No.1 target. Not just for Iran. Both previous attempts came from his own people.
Why would any half-way competent strategist in Iran ever want to kill the man who is doing the most to defeat Iran's enemy?!
I mean, sure, in Iran like everywhere else there are plenty of simpletons who only understand war at the 5-year-old level of "we have to do to them what they did to us", so those will say (or be told) that "we shall kill Donald Trump", but surelly the people in the Iranian leadership who have come up with and are deploying the very successful strategy of attacking American and Israeli interests in the Middle East and turning American allies against America, are well aware of the role of Donald Trump in repeatedly putting his foot on the obvious trap and seriously amplifying the damage of it.
I mean, for all they, like almost all American Presidents in the XX and XXI century, were murderous sociopaths, imagine if it was Obama, Reagan or even Bush (well, Senior, maybe not Junior) in this situation (for the sake of simplificity, imagine that it was already ongowing when they got the job): I very much doubt their handling of it would be this incompetent, out of control, flip-flopping obviously corrupt grift entirelly subservient to Israel.
I mean, I get it.
turnabout is fair play
Well heres to hoping they succeed.
pedo says what
Someone hurry up and do it
Oh please.
Trump's the best thing that's happened to the Iranian government in years.
There's no way they'd want to assassinate a deranged moron who's united the country under their rule, hamfistedly provided them with excuses for whatever aggression they want to engage in and is such an incompetent boob that he can't manage to effectively counter a single move that they make.
I swear that Americans (yes, I am one) simply have no real concept of what war is. They think it's like Call of Duty or some shit.
No dude, their leader was assassinated, schools are being bombed, their infrastructure is being blown up, one of their main sources is income has been shut down for like 6 months. They're not benefiting from this.
Why would they do this favor to the U.S.?
I think that no other President in American History would be this good at amplifying the damage to America of the strategy that Iran is deploying.
Trump's servile posture towards Israel alone guarantees that America's neck remains on the noose it pretty much made for itself.
He's #1 target among his own voters too...
Don't threaten me with a good time.
You threatened their negotiators lives at the negotiating table. Fuck all the way off crybully bitch
Do it.
Inshallah
How dare anyone even think that!...............
Idc how it happens lmfao
That would be the most proportionate response.
Faster, Iran! Faster!
I think there is a decent sized percentage of hard right people who would do it if they could figure out how. I mean so far it's always them that do crazy shit.
Guy who drove a burning Tesla into the trump building.
Guy in golf course with a gun
Kirks alleged shooter.
Oh and Trump's "alleged shooting" shooter. Also alt right.
It's a violent irrational pipeline for violence.
Crazy men who have lost their families and friends due to their trump allegiance. Now disillusioned. Out for justice.
Some ex military.
How about past rape victims
The future rape victims haven't thought of it yet, but for self preservation maybe they should start planning things
I think it takes a very impulsive person to do these attacks. And I'm not sure most rape victims are in that CC category. But who knows.
Don't underestimate revenge. Revenge for a life ruined Revenge for a lost child Revenge because you have a screw loose
they are too young to make plans yet
Don’t tease me with a good time.
