Your blood. Iron is essential for your blood cells to do their job.
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The iron in hemoglobin binds to oxygen, allowing red blood cells to transport it throughout the body and deliver it to tissues and organs that need it to function properly.
Because iron is contained in 'red blood cells' which are mandatory for your body, they hold onto the oxygen in your body and transport it. And without iron, you can get diagnosed with 'iron deficiency anemia' (symptoms: pale, tired, easy bruising, etc). and you would need to take iron supplements.

Yes, iron is found in red blood cells in the form of hemoglobin, a protein responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is essential for the proper functioning of red blood cells and for oxygen transport throughout the body.
Iron is a main part of hemoglobin, which is a protein in your red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body, and oxygen binds to the iron that is in the hemoglobin. Therefore having low iron can make it harder for your body to make red blood cells and less oxygen will be carried to your body, causing fatigue and other problems.
