A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 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.

The AP article, mentions 'southeast Iran' and Kerman, but includes a map of Iran with a marker for the capital, Tehran. They couldn't be bothered to spend 30s and lookup where it actually happened.
It's like posting an article about a school shooting in Arizona and putting up a map of US and only labelling Washington, DC. I get it's not the main point of the article, but JFC, your job is to inform. 🤦🏻♂️
All the people saying that Iran is just like us were right!
Depends which "us" you're referring to.
The United States, I'm an American.
I have a good feeling I know which US they are talking about but they're also an Israel sympathizer so who knows really.
Not really pro-Israel. More anti-rape and anti-slavery.
But murdering 10s of thousands most of which are women and children is ok?
No, but the fault of civilian deaths in a was is the fault of the aggressors, in this case Hamas.
Sure bro, October 7 is why Israel gets to genocide whoever they want, as much as they want, it's all Hamas's fault!
That's ridiculous. They were invaded in Oct 7th it started a war. Hamas can surrender at any time. They're choosing not to. They're saying that the casualties they've suffered are acceptable. They choose when the war ends. They have continued to choose war.
And quite frankly they were poorly prepared for a war. They spent $0 on civilian bomb shelters, $0 on AA/Sam or other air defense, $0 on tanks. They were poorly prepared for the war they started and they shouldn't have started it. What's happening is the expected outcome when a modern army engages with a poorly armed foe.
Your bullshit would be funny if the IDF wasn't executing people in the street.
Oh that was Hamas remember? They were executing people attempting to flee from Gaza City in the North to safe zones in the South?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A 30-year-old man gunned down 12 of his relatives Saturday in a remote rural area in southeast Iran, the deadliest shooting reported in decades.
Head of the justice department of the province of Kerman, Ebrahim Hamidi, told the semiofficial ISNA news agency the gunman opened fire on his father, brother and other relatives early morning in a village because of family disputes.
The report, which did not identify the assailant, stated he used a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Local media report on occasional shootings, but this attack has had the highest death toll in Iran, where citizens are only legally allowed hunting rifles, common in rural areas.
In 2016, a 26-year-old man shot 10 relatives in a rural area in the south of Iran.
In recent years, violence has spiked in the country suffering from deteriorating economic conditions coupled with crushing American sanctions that helped spark soaring inflation and increasing unemployment.
