One problem is why shouldn't Iron be mentioned in the Vedas when everything else is. If at the time the Vedas were composed they knew about it they would have wrote about it. The term Ayas is often translated Iron however many scholars do not believe Ayas is Iron.

According to the mythology long before the Aryans entered India an Asura King called maya had escaped the destruction of tripura. He was a master astronomer, metallurgist, architect, herbalist, linguist and siddha. He is known to have wrote many texts among them the prenarva veda, the first veda.

So in India first we have an assuric civilisation followed by an aryan civilisation. The aryans however appear to be later relatives of the asuras.

The homeland of the Aryans in vedic text is called Arya Varta, Airyana Vaeja in Zoroastrian text. Maya the Asuran king was born in Romakapura. Both the asuran homeland and the later aryan homeland are noted as being in the same geographic area, both being at the immediate base of the Sumeru therefore they are as peoples related.
