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.
It would have been more logical, he said, to wait for the new report on Iran's nuclear activities due soon from the International Atomic Energy Agency - the UN's nuclear watchdog - before taking action.
