These are the first competitions since Portuguese Carlos Queiroz has accepted to coach the Iranian team.
Carlos Queiroz of Portugal has signed a contract to coach Iran through to the end of the 2014 World Cup.
Queiroz who has acted as the Real Madrid boss took over from Tehran-born US national Afshin Ghotbi, whose contract was not renewed after Iran was knocked out of the 2011 Asian Cup by South Korea.
The 57-year-old twice former Manchester United assistant boss was most recently coach of Portugal, whom he took to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Iran began its quest for a fourth World Cup after appearances in 1978, 1998 -- when they memorably beat the United States 2-1 -- and in 2006, when they play the Maldives in their opening qualifier on Wednesday.
Iran meets Venezuela on June 6 and Madagascar on July 17.
