I want to react Iron with aqua regia. Anyone knows what are the products of such a reaction? And can this reaction still occur if I use dilute acids?
like 10% nitric acid and 10% HCL concentrated acids?

Why would you waste aqua regia on iron, when iron reacts readily with ordinary hydrochloric acid?

You're better off just using hydrochloric acid alone, as nitric acid and hydrochloric acid will give a mixture of iron nitrates and iron chlorides, as
well as iron oxides from oxidation.
Also, iron passivates in conc. HNO3.
