Get a tester or something (a lamp) to plug into the circuit the iron is plugged into, and any other circuits you've noticed dimming. Turn off the breaker or breakers, test each outlet until you find every outlet on that circuit. Then with the breaker off, pull each receplical out and look at the wiring on the back. Chances are the wires were just pushed into the holes in back of the receptical, you'll probably find a neutral (the white wire) that's been hot. The best solution is to rewire the recepticals under the screws if they are not already wired that way.
Caution! Many times houses are wired with "shared neutrals", where one neutral serves 2 circuits. If you break the neutral, and the other breaker is still on, power will feed back through the open neutral. Best to check each neutral to the ground wire as you disconnect them just to be safe.
