    So, all this disruption for things to stay the same in Iran. With the addition of the strait being closed, soaring prices, supply chains being messed up, among many other side effects.

    Can we now call it by its real name: Epic Failure?

          True. They’ve managed to out-spend the entire rest of the world militarily while not fighting any “wars” and still lose at every sneaky evil thing they send their military to do, despite murdering 60+ innocent civilians for every soldier they lose.

          So maxed out spending, 60:1 K/D ratio, no wars, still lost every fight.

      The objective(s):

      • Open the Straight of Hormuz and revert it to its previous state of “open”
      • Kill the ayatollah at the request of Israel
      • Give Israel cover to expand their genocide to Lebanon
      • Get the US media to stop talking about Epstein and the fact the president is a pedophile
      • Get the US media to stop talking about how ICE is terrorizing and killing Americans and Immigrants
      • Boost Trumps poll numbers by stating a war in the Middle East that no one wanted and that he campaigned against.
      • Raise gas prices so oil companies can make a ton of money while the average citizen eats the cost.
      • Give Pete Hegseth a hard on from all the murder he gets to order
      • Make Trump feel like a big strong “war president”

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.
