Iran is safest country for foreign diplomats, Ali-Reza Salari, Iranian ambassador in Bern said Monday, IRNA reported. He made the remarks in an interview with Blake Weekly published in Switzerland.

Salari pointed to the repeated attacks to Iranian embassy in Switzerland as well the murder of Iranian diplomats in other countries like UK, Iraq under the occupation of US, Afghanistan and Pakistan, adding, 'Who can name a foreign diplomat who has been injured in Iran?'

'The Iranian diplomats in Iraq were taken hostage by US for two years,' said the diplomat. He also expressed regret for the recent occupation of the UK embassy in Tehran and thanked Iranian police immediate action in control and arrest of the occupiers.

'Western fears of Iran's peaceful nuclear program is baseless; arrogant powers should not suppose thay are superiors compared to the others and recognize the right of the Iranians to use the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,' the Iranian ambassador to Bern stated.
