Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Iran, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Iran as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Iran license
Kazakhstan and Iran are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Iran is one Kazakhstan is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
