Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state of iron ions at the level of a cell. A process by which iron is solubilized and transported into a cell. A process by which iron (Fe3+) is solubilized by ferric iron-specific chelators, known as siderophores, excreted by a cell; the iron-siderophore complex is then transported into the cell by specific cell surface receptors. The directed movement of iron-siderophores into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Iron-siderophores are low molecular weight Fe(III)-chelating substances in the iron-bound form.
