The head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced an "emergency meeting" at the organisation's headquarters in Vienna for Monday after the US struck Iranian nuclear sites.

After US President Donald Trump decided to join Israel's campaign, the United States on Sunday bombarded three nuclear sites in Iran, including a uranium-enriching facility at Fordow.

"In light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the @IAEAorg Board of Governors for tomorrow," Rafael Grossi wrote on X on Sunday.

The meeting will start at 10:00 am (0800 GMT) at the agency's Vienna headquarters.

Grossi said he hoped the IAEA's inspectors could return to the Fordow site as soon as possible to assess the extent of the damage.
