'Iran, compared to other countries in the world, is far safer and more secure for foreign investors and this has made foreign investors to rush to do business with the Islamic Republic,' Member of Parliament Mohammad Ghasim Osmani said in a provincial administrative meeting on Sunday.

According to IRNA, Osmani, who represents the people of the city of Boukan in the Iranian parliament, also said that Washington and its allies are trying by portraying Iran as unsafe for investors, to stop foreign investments in the country.

'Countries like the United States and its allies by deploying anti-revolutionary and Takfiri terrorist groups in Iran's border areas portray the country as an unsafe and insecure place to discourage foreign investments,' he said.

With a population of 227,000, Boukan is located in the south of West Azarbaijan Province.
