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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

I doubt that they care much.
Trump broke the JCPOA and sanctioned Iran randomly. Then after a brief time of lip services from the European countries they also fell in line with Trump to sanction Iran. Biden was happy to continue Trumps policy.
Instead of stabilizing the region and opening Iran to the West, which was probably Obamas greatest diplomatic achievement, they doubled down on pushing Iran to China and Russia.
Iran was heavily sanctioned before. They didn't budge, because they know the US to be lying traitors and the Europeans to just do the bidding of the US. Adding more sanctions on top now will not change that.
Unless the US and Europeans develop some resemblance of political quality of the Obama administration, there is no reason for Tehran to listen to either of them.
Tbh the idea under Obama to bait the Iranians to drop their religious nuclear nutjobbery with money was naive at best. Even under the agreement, they were doing everything they could to advance towards nukes.
The IEA and everybody else involved in the oversight disagrees.
Also "Iran is one year from developing a nuke" was the go to scare headline for like the past decade.
They just shifted their resources to the missile development side of the puzzle, and the deal itself would only limit their uranium enrichment for 15 years. It just kicked the can down the road to 2031 for Iran to have their nukes 'legally'.
This is just nonsense, i am sorry. 15 years is a long time. The goal was to establish diplomatic ties with Iran again. Instead the US pushed for military hostility. Also it is cynical to demand Iran to have no missiles while the US is stationing missiles in bases and ships in the region.
I can agree that it's debatable whether it was a good idea, but how is it 'nonsense' that the fact that sunset clause makes the deal very awkward? Why do you think the Iranians wanted it in, if not for the freedom to just develop nukes later?
Also the Iranian regime think they have a good shot at going to paradise because they allow men to rape their child brides, amongst other horrific shit. I can see the case we don't want these kind of people with the power of nuclear weapons.
