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.

So, is the ceasefire over, or are we just doing an Israel-style ceasefire?
You cease, we fire
Iran is not Gaza. If the usa don't cease , Iran will not cease. Even hizbollah no longer accept isrsel breach if the cease fire and are back at full scaled retaliation
AFAIK the ceasefire ever existing was a myth? Trump just kinda declared it without anyone else agreeing and then everyone kept shooting anyway, Trump included.
Toddler logic:
Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.
People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.
He doesn't want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.
Don't forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it's his bread and butter and he's running this show.
The war won't end while trump is in office.
I expect a false flag attack, blamed on Iran, to happen right before the midterms
Faux news:
Iran just shit trump's pants!
But didn't Biden shit Trump's pants before that? :O
Mar a lago ,may I hope
That’s the only way I would believe the attack is real. It’ll probably be an Amazon warehouse which happens to be fully staffed by union supporters.
He’s also likely hit the Alzheimer’s stage of his life. Combine his general impulsivity with the characteristic impulsivity of Alzheimer’s. Now add in his likely cluster B personality disorder. Anything can happen at any time.
Reason may not be involved at all.
Someone gift him a luger with ammo and he'll fix the problem himself.
Ding ding ding
So our best hope for mankind's future is...McDonald's?
apparently because Americans seem OK to bring the world to ruin before attempting to organize a general strike or protest on a week day
They’re inviting ufc fighters to the White House and someone could potentially do something really funny
I would pay so much money to watch a PPV fight between any UFC fighter and everyone in Trump's cabinet. Starting with the president and VP, of course.
I know Bibi is running the country lika a dictator, but has he really cancelled any elections? As far as I can tell, since 2000 there have been Knesset elections 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 (again), 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the next one expected in October this year.
Doesn't sound like there have been any cancellations, considering the members serve four-year terms, however, there have been plenty of early elections.
Can you clarify what you meant by him having cancelled Israeli elections?
They don't have regular elections, they can happen as often as every year.
Bibi has cancelled due to "war" since 2022, and while there is an election scheduled this year, that has been true for every year since 2022 as well.
Edit:
And the reason they happened twice in 19, then three years in a row is because a lot of Israel blames Bibi for all of this...
Very very slim wins for his parties and his alliance keeps fracturing. If he wasn't canceling elections,the wouldn't be in charge.
And as soon as he's not in charge, his corruption trial starts and he's clearly guilty. Like there's a shit ton of evidence, he will be found guilty.
It's a lot more fucked up than people think, there's a lot of propaganda from all sides that want to make it seem like Bibi has the support of every Israeli, when it's more like America and trump.
Right, so if I understand correctly the Knesset has voted to have an early election several times since 2022, but Bibi has vetoed those decisions to stay in power?
Still, I'd be more hopeful this year since the four years are up and I'd assume it's not as easy to cancel a mandatory election than an early election. At least I hope so.
No, this is a new war which Congress totally doesn't need to approve for 90 days.
Actually, what he meant was a seas-fire, hence the bombing of a coastal city /s
Since Iran retaliated I would say the cease fire is done
The ceasefire was done when the us attacked iran
That's why I said retaliated. It mean the usa restarted the hostilities first
Regardless of retaliation, if there is a ceasefire, and someone shoots from one side to the other, even without a retaliation, the ceasefire is violated.
Actually the cease fire become null and Iran has the right to retaliate, which they did.
That's what I said. https://lemmy.world/comment/23627380
Yes iran has the right to retaliate
Maybe it was a misunderstanding but your first reply to mind felt like it meant that I did not acknowledge that the USA was the one who broke it. I guess we agreed from the start
