The International Atomic Energy Agency pulled all its inspectors out of Iran.
UN inspectors have left Iran after Tehran cut ties with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
This means inspectors will no longer be able to monitor the country’s nuclear activities.
That’s led to many people questioning the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, and fearing another round of tensions.
Israel launched its attacks on Iran last month, claiming Tehran was weeks from producing a nuclear weapon.
The United States backed its ally, striking key Iranian nuclear facilities.
But Tehran has struck a defiant note – suspending co-operation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog.
So what does all this mean, and what might the future hold?
