Iran have been without a coach since July 2007 and are keen to get a man in place before February 6. That is when Team Melli start qualifying for the 2010 World Cup against Syria in Tehran.
Daum was the latest name to be linked with the position.
"I have told the Iranians that I want to fulfill my duty at FC Cologne," said Daum according to the Koelner Express, pointing to his main objective to help Cologne win promotion.
The Cologne trainer added that Iran agreed to a double role for Daum, meaning he would have been able to coach both Iran and his German club.
FC Cologne manager Michael Meier indicated over the weekend that Daum won't be released from his contract.
Meier and Daum's lawyer Stefan Seitz confirmed that the Iranian Football Federation had made a bid for the Cologne coach whose contract runs through 2010.
This is the second time after 2000 that Daum has received an offer to coach Iran.
A front-runner for the coaching job of the German national football squad eight years ago, Daum was forced to abandon his dream after failing a drug test.
Daum whose coaching stints include VfB Stuttgart, Besiktas Istanbul, Bayer Leverkusen, Austria Vienna and Fenerbahce Istanbul, announced earlier that he had rejected national team coaching offers from the US, Serbia, Poland and South Africa.
According to earlier sports reports, another German coach, Peter Neururer had also been on the shortlist of the Iranian Football Federation.
