"It looks so deja vu," he told reporters outside the United Nations Security Council after meeting with Secretary-General Kofi Annan to discuss Iran.
The 15-member panel is awaiting the arrival of an International Atomic Energy Agency report on Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Lavrov was Moscow's chief envoy to the United Nations for many years, including at the height of debate over whether Iraq harbored weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, a move Russia opposed.
"I've been answering these questions regarding Iraq and I don't believe that we should engage in something which might become self-fulfilling prophesy," he said.
