Karzai is scheduled to meet with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and to hold talks on developments in the region with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
Earlier this month, Karzai's spokesman said Afghanistan is ready to mediate between Iran and the United States in the dispute over Iran's nuclear program, and that Karzai would raise the issue in Tehran.
But Iran's Foreign Ministry today said Iran's nuclear program is not on the agenda for Karzai's talks.
