Because Iran has failed to comply with the demands of the IAEA for transparency in its nuclear program, the UN has enacted its first salvo of sanctions against the nation, prohibiting the sale of nuclear technology and material to Iran. Iran, obviously, is pissed off, claiming the US and the UN are using a double standard, as they have entirely ignored Israel's confirmed possession of at least 200 nuclear warheads. Nevertheless, these sanctions are a reminder from the UN that Iran is a party to the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty and should abide by it.
Let us all speculate about the shitstorm that will come in the following months and years.
