Eventually, it should.

Iron "rusts" to Iron-Oxide in the presence of Oxygen. Isopropyl Alcohol does have an -OH group, so it has Oxygen.

The speed of the reaction depends on the Reduced version of Isopropyl Alcohol and the affinity of the Fe ion for Oxygen.

There's also the possibility that H20 would develop as Iron reacts with the Oxygen, since Alcohols could deprotonate the remaining Propane ion so it could form Propene. H20 could, in turn, could also rust the iron.

Iron does have a chance to rust in a silica solution, but it is more difficult than in any other solution. Silica helps to keep the particles of rust from attaching to the iron.
