Iteration Goals are a high-level summary of the business and technical goals that an Agile Team agrees to accomplish in an Iteration. They are vital to coordinating an Agile Release Train (ART) as a self-organizing, self-managing team of teams1. Iteration Goals help the team and the Product Owner to reach agreement on the business value they intend to deliver, align their work to their team PI objectives, and ground everyone on their shared purpose2.

I thought Iteration Goals were mainly to summarize what the team aims to accomplish in each Iteration, but I guess it could also relate to accountability.
