Since you don't have any conditions to limit the oxidation state of the iron (it can be 3+ or 2+) you could write:
Fe + Cl2 = FeCl2
2Fe + 3Cl2 = 2FeCl3
Fe + 2HCl = FeCl2 + H2
2Fe + 6HCl = 2FeCl3 + 3H2

remember Fe(Iron) is transition metal and it is having variable valencies, Fe is 2+ that is Ferro and Fe 3+ is Ferri
So Fe , 2+ ferro can form Ferrous chloride with chlorine
Fe + Cl 2 ---> FeCl2
It can form Fe , 3+ ferri with chlorine and form Ferric chloride
2Fe + 6HCl ---> 2FeCl3 + 3H2

2Fe + 3Cl2 -> 2FeCl3
(iron + chlorine-> iron(III)chloride crystals)
Fe + 2HCl -> FeCl2 + H2
(iron + hydrochloric acid -> iron(II)chloride + hydrogen)
