Manouchehr Mottaki has urged major world powers to exercise restraint over a new UN resolution aimed at tightening sanctions against Iran.
The Iranian foreign minister said the timing of the request that the UN Security Council consider a new draft resolution was "strange".
Mr Mottaki was speaking to the BBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
He said the push for the new resolution looked like an exercise in influencing public opinion.

Mr Mottaki was no more encouraging on the prospects of improved relations with the United states.
"Definitely, if we see correction of their position, the reaction and the answer from the Iranian side also will be positive," he said. "But we do not see yet such positive and constructive approach from American side."
The Davos Economic Forum is often used by global leaders to lobby for international support.
