Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei

Head of Iran Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization says the country is one of the most secure places for the world tourists.

"In spite of neighboring war-torn countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran enjoys security and peace," CHTN quoted Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei as saying.

Unfortunately Western media by publishing negative propaganda against Iran are working hard to present an untrue image of the Islamic Republic.

Rahim-Mashaei further called on tourists to visit the country and personally witness Iran's security.

He also emphasized the role of Iran as an ancient country that stands as the forerunner of many modern phenomena like modernism and urbanism.
