According to a scientific article about iodine declaration the recommended daily intake of iodine in the US is 150 micrograms per day as determined by the US Food and Nutrition Board.
According to the FDA, you only need to declare minerals like iodine if you add them as a supplement or if you make a claim about them. Since it's unlikely that you add it if you don't make a claim about it or if it doesn't serve as a supplement, you are supposed to declare it and the FDA also lists specific rules on how to do it.
In short, yes. Added iodine would need to be declared in most if not all cases.
