"Talks between the Iranian and U.S. ambassadors will be held in Iraq May 28 and will address only security in that country," Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
"We will not hold any discussion on Iran's "nuclear file" during the meeting," the Iranian IRNA news agency quoted Mottaki as saying.
The talks, which come at the request of Iraqi leaders, had initially been scheduled for March of this year but were continuously postponed due to a U.S. propaganda campaign against Iran, in which the White House has accused of providing Shiite militia with weaponry and explosives.
Tehran, in turn, denies the accusations and blames Washington for the bloodshed and violence in Iraq that followed the U.S.-led military campaign in the country.
"The presence of foreign troops in that country [Iraq] creates serious problems for the Iraqi people," Mottaki said, adding that deteriorating security in Iraq was proof that the U.S.'s "erroneous" policy there had failed.
Meanwhile, Iran is caught in a prolonged standoff with the West over its controversial nuclear program. Some countries, particularly the United States, suspect Iran of gearing toward nuclear weapons development.
Tehran has consistently denied the claims, saying it needs nuclear power for civilian purposes.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated Wednesday that the Islamic Republic's nuclear program was "legitimate and fully serving civilian purposes, in line with Iran's membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)."
The Iranian hard-line leader also reaffirmed that Iran had joined countries producing nuclear fuel on an industrial scale. Iran first announced industrial production of civilian-grade nuclear fuel April 9 and vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite international sanctions.
A recent inspection by the IAEA confirmed that Iran was running up to 1,300 centrifuges at its main nuclear facility at Natanz, having apparently worked out pervious technical problems, and was producing fuel suitable for nuclear reactors.
