No, loop is in general, iterate is a special case of loops,
namely the incremental (e.g. a for loop) and/or thru
a data-structure (`dolist') ...

(while t (sleep-for 1))

is a loop but it doesn't iterate.

Or maybe I just got it all wrong at age 12 reading
"Learn C++ in 21 Days" so thank you for correcting me if
so ...

(to be honest that sounds logical 'cuz I still don't know C++)
