The directed movement of inorganic cations with a valency of two or three into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge which do not contain carbon in covalent linkage. The directed movement of ferrous iron (Fe(II) or Fe2+) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of ferric iron (Fe(III) or Fe3+) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of metal ions, any metal ion with an electric charge, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of iron ions into, out of or within a mitochondrion. The directed movement of transition metal ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. The directed movement of iron (Fe) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of iron chelates into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. An iron chelate is a heterocyclic compound having a metal ion attached by coordinate bonds to at least two nonmetal ions. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of iron ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of iron ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of cations, atoms or small molecules with a net positive charge, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of iron ions (Fe) into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A process whereby an iron ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other.
