I have flown twice with Iberia. In both cases, business class seating was 3 x 3. In other words, as cosy as economy except for slightly more legroom. Does anyone know if all their cabin configurations are like this? I am thinking of flying MAD to CCS - their seat map shows 2 x 2 x 2, but I wonder...
Flying from MAD to CCS with Iberia you will be on an International Configured plane. These are in the process of being upgraded to a fla bed product in Business Class.
Here is a link to their Business Plus information:

Whilst I am not 100% sure if the CCS flights are on reconfigured planes, I do remember reading somewhere recently that the flight is being upgraded to a A340-600 due to the popularity of the flight (I believe it was the Iberia inflight magazine).
In terms of European flights, IB Business Class is the same as economy, except that IB no guarantee to block the middle seat. Plus you get a free meal, as opposed to the Buy on Board of economy.
I recently flew IB Economy in Europe and was suprised by how good the service was, considering the amount of Iberia Bashing out there.
As
Duffshot said, Iberia (and all
oneworld airlines) now operate out of the new Terminal 4 and 4S, which is an amazing new terminal!
