What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times, I may as well pack it in
Until Trump, Israel, and Europe are ready to have an honest conversation about the last two and a half years, it's all in bad faith; Trump absolutely did not expect this outcome and the last thing Iran should do is give him and Israel a chance to plot a new course of action for a next time. If Iran gives them breathing room, they'll prepare for a second (third) go but with contingencies for everything Iran did this time around.
What does victory look like for Iran? I personally have no idea, but absolute best case scenario which absolutely won't happen: unconditional surrender of Israel and being put under control of Iran (obviously this won't happen); other than that, Israeli and American politicians and military being put on trial for war crimes, this also won't happen, it's impossible; beyond that, an end to sanctions? This feels more plausible, but so long as Europe insists on being American vassals and having solidarity with Trump, this also isn't going to happen but it's not impossible. I genuinely have no idea what victory looks like for Iran, but everyone involved in this against Iran is acting in bad faith. There needs to be a formal recognition of the events of the last two and a half years before any dialogue with Iran can be done honestly.
Fool me twice can't get fooled again
