Oxidation happens.
oxygen
Lots of materials oxidize when exposed to oxygen; water is not strictly necessary for this to occur.Aluminium, for example, oxidizes almost immediately when exposed to oxygen. You've probably never touched aluminium; anything aluminium you've picked up had a thin, transparent layer of alumina (aluminium oxide) covering and protecting the metal underneath.
The iron will become oxidized and we will say that it has become rusty.
Iron has to be exposed to oxygen for oxidation to occur.
Oxidation is mostly what occurs and rust is the by product but,this can take decades and even centuries

The iron oxidizes and turns to rust
Aluminum occurs as individual aluminum atoms while oxygen normally occurs in the form of molecules each containing 2 oxygen atoms, hence the formula O2

oxidize/rust, but mostly rust.
