Kharazi also voiced concern over a reported ceasefire deal between Washington and the Iraq-based People's Mujahidin guerrillas -- an Iranian opposition group deemed a "terrorist organization" by the US, the EU and Iran.
US Central Command has refused to comment on the deal.
Meanwhile in Baghdad, Iraq's US civil administrator tackled the task of finding Iraqis able to work with US forces to put the country back on its feet after 24 years of Saddam's rule, scheduling a town meeting for prospective leaders.
Garner met with 60 hand-picked university professors, government technocrats and other Iraqis, but US officials said they were not necessarily being groomed for posts in an eventual administration.
"Our purpose here in your country is to create an environment for you so that we can begin a process of government that leads to a democratic form in Iraq," the retired US general told the all-male group.
Garner's deputy, Tim Cross, explained that the town meeting would help flesh out "what process the people of Baghdad want to end up with a mayor."
US officials have distanced themselves from both a self-proclaimed governor of Baghdad and remained cool to Ahmad Chalabi, leader of the Iraqi National Congress and the country's best-known opposition leader.
