Iron is a fairly malleable metal. Regardless, it is far from the most malleable metal. There is also a metal called malleable iron that is more malleable than regular iron.

Iron malleable due to its property of being a form of plastic. All metals are flexible due to this property and this what makes them also ductile.

Pure iron is neither, it is usually brittle, although how it is made and treated will affect both properties. If it isn't pure, it isn't iron, it is probably steel.
