Yes, spring-blooming iris can be cut back after the bloom.

Specifically, a well-cared iris generally does not need extensive pruning any more frequently than every three years. After the bloom, the plant needs to redirect and reprioritize life-sustaining activities into building reserves for fall and winter survival. In midsummer, a spring-bloomer then will be ready for eliminating unattractive, unhealthy above- and below-ground body parts which are damaged, decaying, diseased or dying.
