From the Iowa DPS SF2379 FAQ
QUESTION: My state requires a reciprocity agreement before it can recognize an out-of-state permit. Will Iowa enter into such a reciprocity agreement?
ANSWER: No. Iowa law does not provide for entering into reciprocity agreements with states that require them. Iowa will honor any valid permit issued in any other state.
Part of what states look at when deciding to honor a state's permit is the training requirements. States that have higher training requirements typically do not recognize the permits of sates with a "lesser" training requirement. Iowa has no requirement for live fire and that amongst other things hurts us when trying to get our permits honored by other states. That's the drawback of a lax training requirement.
