World News@lemmy.world•Iran plans to charge ships for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz, report saysEnglish
75·5 days agoThey have everything to lose if other countries provide support to the U.S. Iran is already infringing upon Oman’s sovereignty by stopping ships from transiting the straight through its territorial waters.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Giant underground pipe mysteriously rises over 30 feet, bursting through road in Japan: "I can't believe this"English
7·17 days agoUltimately, the CBS article is just a word-for-word re-release of this AP story with additions based on the content of the Japan Times article.

64·20 days agoPreventing Iran from acquiring a bomb is one of Trump’s stated war aims
Something that could have been achieved through continued negotiations, resulting in far fewer lives lost and less money wasted. Assassinating Iran’s leaders and threatening to invade only serves to bolster their justifications for seeking nuclear weapons in the first place.
