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.

and return to prewar status quo
It ensures the strait is open to 60 days only, after that it's up to what Iran negotiates locally;
It ends any kind of sanctions the US applies into Iran;
It sets no actual constraint in Iran's uranium enrichment, except for them not making nuclear weapons;
It unfreezes the Iranian international assets (none of which are included in those $300G).
That's a very different situation from the prewar one...
Iran knows as soon as US military left hormuz there's no chance in hell they coming back
It would have been pretty awesome if iran put that into the deal.
Holy shit. They got everything they wanted and USA got zip.
Then trump paid them 300 billion.
WTF?
Oh, and it’s only good for 60 day?
Are we great yet?
Trump has trully made America great again: if you compare "right now" to "in the middle of the War with Iran" given that when one stops activelly getting hurt things are "great" by comparison, then America is now Great.
The small detail that it's only "great" in comparison with the peak Find Out moment of Trump's latest Fuck Around is irrelevant.
I'm great, compared to 5 minutes ago when i really needed to pee.
We were never great. But we use to be mildly competent.
The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions
I'm a bit confused about this. Is the US going to be Iran's bitch at the Security Council now?
Such an amazing victory against the american evil empire
It's interesting to see oil drop AND the markets drop leading up to this deal.
Oil dropping is expected but it's drop is so much in comparison to the peak. Prices have remained relatively low in comparison to the extreme risk this conflict has created. It's like every country is dumping it's reserves to keep the oil prices low and the markets rising. Only to have the market drop as oil drops.
It's impossible to predict. But with this deal likely to be meaningless and fail to result in any long term peace; and with the absolute scam that the SpaceX stock is right now with 401ks. It feels like the "dump" is starting.
We'll see. This irrational market could last years longer. But, even with half the market just being based on Trump tweets and insider trades, that can only last so long. At some point the spending of public resources to prop up markets and record profits runs dry. And at that point there are only two things to do. Change to a war economy and find someone to invade that you can bully (likely not Iran) while you place economic blame on already oppressed minorities within the US.
Shits gonna get worse before it gets better. We might be there now. Or we might keep up the charade a bit longer.
