Bleeding from gums could be due to deposits on tooth. Better if you share some good and clear photographs of effected area for better guidance and treatment options.
Bad smell could be due to local or systemic reasons. Consult doctor online or offline for proper treatment plan.
Try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, use mouthwash, drink a lot water, add more citrus fruits in your diet.

Hi...
The bad smell and iron taste can be associated with deposits of plaque and calculus in your oral cavity.
For this you should get a scaling done from a dentist.
By looking at your symptoms the reason for iron taste most probably is your oral hygiene but sometimes kidney and liver problems also cause this.
Try to rule out this by getting a cleaning done first.

Bleeding gums are due to tartar deposits on the teeth and the junction between the teeth and gums. That leads to the gum to get spongy/ inflamed and hence causes the bleeding. You can get a dental scaling /oral prophylaxis done and get rid of this issue.
