"Our analysis is clear: [the] US is not in a position to impose another war in our region, against their taxpayers," Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters.
He warned Washington against making such a "mad decision".
Despite its conviction that the US would find launching another military assault extremely taxing, Iran was making preparations for such an attack, Mottaki said.
In the meantime, Mottaki said Iran is working with the International Atomic Energy Agency to answer questions and calm speculations about its nuclear program. In return for its cooperation with the IAEA, Iran was granted a reprieve until November on sanctions placed on its nuclear program.
The Bush administration, which contends that the nuclear power program in Iran is merely a cover for a weapons program, ceded to demands from China and Russia to give Tehran more time to address questions from the IAEA about its nuclear program.
