The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is carefully watching Iran's nuclear program. Western countries are preparing to criticize Iran at the IAEA's Board of Governors because Iran has not followed the rules. If Iran and the US do not agree, Iran could face "snapback" sanctions, which were first lifted by the 2015 nuclear deal. This increasing tension could lead to a new conflict with Iran, and the IAEA is very important in this situation. The IAEA was created in 1957 and checks the nuclear materials that member countries say they have. The 2015 nuclear deal allowed Iran to enrich uranium to 3.67%, but after the US left the agreement in 2018, Iran started enriching up to 60%. Without an agreement with the US, Iran's economy could get worse, and there is a risk of airstrikes by Israel or the US on Iranian nuclear sites. An agreement would probably stop a military attack, but Israel has warned that it might act alone to target Iran's program.
