Depends on whether you're making Iron (II) Oxide or Iron (III) Oxide.
What happens when iron and oxygen react?
The ability to react with oxygen, which forms rust is a chemical property of iron.
When two oxygen atoms react together they form an oxygen molecule (O2).
This is an oxydation reaction.
The iron would react with the oxygen in the water to make iron oxide, or rust.
What happens when iron and oxygen react?
Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.

Iron reacts with oxygen in air to for rust.
Potassium react violent with water, iron react only if oxygen is present.
