That question suggests that all of a sudden an army was equipped with them, which is not the case. Iron started out as a precious commodity, and in the beginning having even an iron dagger was proof of someone's importance and wealth within a community. The use of iron weapons developed very gradually and over a long period of time, starting with the officers and slowly trickling down to elite soldiers and later to the common soldiers. We don't know which army at which occasion was the first to be (largely) equipped with iron weapons; but the armies or Assyria, Sumer and Egypt are high on the list.
Most likely the Hittites of Asia Minor. They were also the first to breed a horse large enough for a cavalryman to ride.
The Hittites were the first to make and use iron weapons. They used the weapons to settle Asia Minor.

Yes, the Hittites developed a method of making iron strong enough to use for weapons. They were one of the first civilizations to excel in iron production and were known for their superior iron weapons, which gave them a military advantage during their time. Ironworking was a significant technological advancement for the Hittites and contributed to their military success and expansion.
Their soldiers were the first to adopt the use of iron weapons.
The conquerors of Egypt had an advantage of Romans because of their weapons.

It was the most Significant Army in the Ancient World . It does use Iron Weapons as the First Army in the World. also invented the Wheels and used them in War. Swords and other Advanced weapons..
Yes
there were iron weapons since Sumeria the first civilizations. Those who didn't know how to work it, had to make a more primitive weapon. When you encountered a civilization with arrows with flint, didn't mean that iron was not used, it meant that those didn't know how to extract it.
