People who made weapons from iron are typically referred to as blacksmiths. A blacksmith is a craftsman who shapes and forges iron and other metals into tools, weapons, and various items using heat and hammering techniques. In historical contexts, these artisans played a crucial role in producing weaponry for armies and individuals.

Iron Age people made weapons by smelting iron ore in a furnace to extract iron, which was then forged into various weapons like swords, spears, and axes using blacksmithing techniques. They often combined iron with other metals like bronze to improve the weapon's strength and durability.
During the Iron Age, people primarily made iron through a process called bloomery smelting. They heated iron ore in a furnace, often combined with charcoal, to reach high temperatures that reduced the ore into a spongy mass of iron called a bloom. This bloom was then hammered to remove impurities and shape it into usable forms. The resulting iron was malleable and could be further worked into tools and weapons.
The Assyrians used iron-forged weapons.
In the Iron Age, people used weapons and farming implements made of iron and steel. Many cultures developed writing systems during the Iron Age, but literacy was usually restricted to scribes and priests.
The Phoenicians lasted quite a while, and well into the Iron Age, so they doubtless had iron weapons.
The reason it is called the Iron Age is because they made weapons and tools from iron. Often the farm tools were used in war because the foot soldiers were the farmers and that is what they had. Wheels were also invented in this time and chariots used in fighting. The bow and arrow was used as well.
they used a composite bow also they made lots of iron tools and weapons
