Iwo Jima was part of Japan, all of the earlier territory captured during WWII by the Allies was foreign territory that were being liberated from Japanese occupation.
The military significance of Iwo Jima was that it served as forward airbase for US attacks on Japan. Control of Iwo Jima put every major population center and industrial area of Japan in constant danger of air raids. Even though most US air raids orginated from bases in the Marianas, the existence of the base at Iwo Jima provided support to air/sea rescue of downed flyers and provided "friendly" airspace up to the shore of the home islands. In addition, planes from Iwo Jima almost completely choked off the supply lines to Japanese forces operating in the western Pacific.
