Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

It takes two to negotiate in good faith. Both Iran and the USA need to want peace, external pressure can only go so far in negotiations.

A video recorded on the bridge of a ship was posted on social media purporting to air an IRGC Navy radio broadcast warning that only vessels with Iranian permission were allowed to pass.

"Transit only with IRGC permission, on designated routes. No permission, AIS off, or off-route, and you carry the consequences," the broadcast reportedly said.

Loser Donald’s losing is getting lose all over everything.

The problem here is entirely caused by the US.

It's really a case that Trump doesn't want peace and needs to bolster his ego

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 4 hours ago (5 children)

Iran had plenty of guilt.

Trump shouldn't have got involved. But Iran has been funding anyone willing to attack Israel long enough that I can't blame them for attacking Iran. And Israel in turn has been doing stupid things with their settler program. Blame exists all over and nobody with power wants peace (plenty without power want peace). Which is why trump was a fool thinking he could do anything useful.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Trump wasn't TRYING for peace. He literally went over there to stomp on their foot, and sabotages any attempt at a ceasefire.

I would be unsurprised if its one of those stupid revenge things he's doing because someone said something bad about him at one time.

He's not using resources to defend America.. They're being used to benefit himself.

Iran has been funding anyone willing to attack Israel

Funny how I never heard of a single missile hitting Israel prior to them bombing children in Iran

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 1 hour ago

Then you have not been paying attention. Hezbollah has been sending missiles in off and on for decades. Hamas in Yemen has been doing it once in a while. Palestine as well. All funded in large part by Iran.

And Israel in turn has been doing stupid things with their settler program.

Understatement of the century

Don't worry about the downvotes. Many Lemmy users that think "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Iran is a cruel authoritarian system that massacres its own population, is reigned by fundamental islamists and destabilizes the whole region for decades. The US is fucked up and the attack was stupid, but people who got sympathies for Iran are crazy.

This is also the USA's fault for toppling Iran's progressive government and installing the ayatollah to get access to Iran's oil on the cheap.

So the Mullahs are innocent or what is your point? That is a weird way to comprehend history.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 hour ago

No the point is that it's the USA, the UK's and so forth fault because they keep fucking with any weaker country's politics such that they stay forever weak, regardless if that means propping up genocidal regimes

[–] moustachio@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The U.S. should be bombing Israel.

They’re a threat to global security, and an adversary to the United States.

So the projectile acted autonomously, without any intervention by any of the conflict parties? Is the projectile now it's own conflict party? What will this mean for the future of the conflict?

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

It's not an escalation, don't worry. The projectile declared independence before it exploded.
