It depends on the situation and the type of iron it is. The other things mixed with the iron, such as carbon, oxygen and other trace metals and minerals can have a big effect on whether it will bend.
Cast iron tends to be fairly brittle and doesn't bend well. But if you heat it, it bends fairly easily. Other types of iron can be bent and curved with a little bit of effort.

Can you bend laminated wood with a bending iron.... I want to make a bend in a laminated plank but im wondering will the heat melt the glue between the laminates and destroy it?
The heat WILL melt the glue, it has to or the laminate wouldn't bend properly. The trick is to not let the heat get too hot, and to keep the wood in a 'former' until it completely cools and the glue re-sets. - I have done this in the past, but not with an iron. I found more success with a commercial 'heat ribbon' that you can buy at plexiglass stores for bending plexiglass and other rigid plastics.
