It has devolved into the most savage and barbaric "nation" in the world, equalled perhaps only by Somalia. Talk about "boycotts"! The entire planet should be shunning these savages and spend a good 9months bombing their military into the stoneage. What a cowardly world to stand by and let this horrible regime continue to ravage it's people so proudly and brazenly in PUBLIC! Iran, by far, makes Islam look soo horrible, it seems worthy only of being eradicated as a human philosophy. Shame on any Islamic republic who deals with them: if these r islams "brothers" then Islam has no place on the planet earth. Muslims: get a clue: evolution is a fixed reality. Either embrace it or surely you'll be forced to. This is sub-human behavior, worthy of no living creature. Iran is a disgrace!

i agree with the japanese firm.

Excellent article. I AGREE with you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. They are savages and barbarians and should be held accountable to the world of civilized people. G D WILL do something devasting to these evil monsters.

... as expressed in the post at No. 1. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the most depraved, primitive and barbaric "nation" on the face of the earth. The sad part is that it reflects the Islamic nature of the country. It occurs to me, too, that the best swords on earth are made in Japan. I wonder if Japan does any business with Saudi Arabia in that regard. It's probably worth looking into; lopping off people's hands and heads is likely not something for which Japan's beautifully crafted swords should be used.

The photo here of people hanging from cranes gives a morbid but very telling picture of what Iran has become under the islamofascist mullahs. I wonder if Persian Cat is still proud of his country?

The problem is that this regime hangs people for offenses that should utterly outrage the civilized world. And it's because of this that countries like Japan (and they certainly aren't the only one) should cut all it's economic ties with Iran...regardless of whether or not their cranes are being used for the actual executions.

It's time China and Russia stop all business with these savages. No amount of money is worth selling your soul to the Devil. At the end, every dollar you made from the devil will come back for your blood.

"United against Nuclear Iran" Funny Name for a Isreal goverment branch! but so much effort in Vain?

The Japanese have shown more moral courage than anyone else I can think of. Domo arigoto! Let's see if anyone else will follow and if they have the chutzpah?

Lack of knowledge clearly makes you think the way you do.Iran is following strict Islamic laws,for your information. Recently,a house maid in Saudi Arabia was be-headed.How come we never heard from you?Nor any of the execution carried out in Saudia have ever attracted your attention.We quite well understand your attitude towards Iran.Don't you worry about the Iranians.

like the parts for their nuke program...

religious duty for observant Shias....

Ah Yes, the CRANE hangings, in that bastion of freedom and democracy. Didn't we just read a story about Ahmadinejad, and he lectured the world about the "Arab Spring" and the Arab people being entitled to freedom? But not the Muslims in his country. For them, just blatant intimidation, this is what will happen to you if you complain or embarrass the country of Iran. I always say lead by example, and what better example could we have than Iran? After all we hear about how bad the Israeli justice system is, allegedly. Yet it's one of the most respected in the world. The anti-Israel crowd has to lie and fabricate stories to win their argument, why is that? Apparently the truth doesn't work, because it exonerates Israel. Like the recent Gaza blow off. When all we heard was "open air prison", "starvation", "concentration camp", yet after the 2010 flotilla it was all revealed to be one giant lie. No shortages of food, fuel, medical supplies. In fact the opposite was true it was a typical middle class neighborhood, with water parks, shopping Malls, beautiful Hotels and Restaurants. food courts fill with a wide variety and an abundance of food. But the liberals still stick to the lies, don't they. But here we see a raRe story about the real Muslim world, I wonder will it make the Main Stream Media news. We'll see.

Wasn't it Ahmadinejad that gave a speech about the "Arab Spring" and the people wanting freedom? Lead by example I always say, and what a great example of how to intimidate your people. Lynch them from a crane publicly, the more the merrier. The picture here shows three people hanging, who knows how long they hung there? You think people will write dissent after watching that? Will this make the Main Stream News? We'll see? But if a IDF border guard spits on a Palestinian at a checkpoint, watch out, International incident, proof of Israeli oppression. Oh Yea!!

#10 + ME Iran #1 working for the #1 Loser Lucifer taking you to the Gallows by Religious Deception!

At least the japanese are not morally "equivocating" -- they are consistent. A great trait -- it stems from loving truth more than lies.

As NYC Girl says, it is the Iranian government that is the problem. Rather than boycott the Japanese companies, more global companies need to suspend their dealings with Iran. Iran wants to live in the fourteen century anyway, so why do they need cranes or nuclear power?

Spies or Oppostion, the truth is what this ILLEGAL regime said they did it's so. Did'nt you know that? How About Those Peach's Shabat Shalom

still feeling like defending iran?:) japan is country of great people and they showed it again as for persian cat she probbaly feels bad now for her country as she seemed to be proud persian

@ NO.4 - CRANES ARE NOT MADE FOR HANGING PEOPLE ON THEM. BUT, SWORDS ARE MADE FOR CUTTING HEADS, ARMS AND OTHER BODY PARTS !

cranes...!

The poor souls who meet their end in this fashion die quickly unlike those that are executed by being stoned to death which can take up to an hour . There are no words to describe this vile regime . It is simply beyond the scope of normal words or thought processes. However on a positive note it should be understood that such evil is not a natural conditi On a

the usa, where you and i live the land of the free and home of the brave(s) did alot worse in the name of mudering 40 million native americans from 1700-1850 in order to expand the western frontier to make way for country stores and cattle ranches. are you that naive to think this doesnt go on everywhere like in stalin time where he brutally murdered 20 million of his own people during ww2? oh come now

Not since the Middle Ages, dear. But you missed my point. If Japan does not want their jib cranes to be used to hang people, then it is quite likely that they do not want their exquisite swords used to behead people or to cut off other body parts.

You're off by around seven hundred years. Iran seems to want to live in the seventh century.

Jimmy Carter would be so proud. Expelled a bee just to bring in a whole nest of hornets.

well what do you expect from a third world country babarians

Awesome culture, great people, socially responsible. You can't stay mad at them.
