Is iron oxide a mixture or a compound?

Pure iron oxide is a compound, but if there is something else
mixed in with it, then of course it will become a mixture. There is
more than one oxide of iron, though.
Here are 2 types of iron oxide:
Iron (II) Oxide is a black powder with a formula of FeO
Iron (III) Oxide, also rust, is a brownish-red powder with a
formula of Fe2O3
