What type of fertiliser is it, Mike? If it already contains Iron, adding extra could kill the lawn. Iron is mostly used to darken the lawn or kill moss, and the greening effect doesn't last very long so beyond that, it's up to you. I'd add the fert. first and then the iron a few days/week later. The fert. might start being absorbed by the time the iron is applied and the lawn will continue to look healthy.
