Wrong, they add a tiny bit of it to salt because they know you are deficient. If you ate enough salt to get your daily value of iodine then you’d have some serious sodium problems and be dead pretty quick. It was another lie. Plus, the iodine in the salt makes folks crave the salt i.e. there is Americas sodium addition problems.
Americans actually don't eat too much salt. I advise you to revisit the "salt is bad for you" propaganda and realize that food is salt deficient in order to make you crave more of it.
Yes, refined salt is devoid of micronutrients, bleached (the fake iodine they use turns it purple) and can be argued to be bad, but sodium itself, and sodium chloride in general, is a vital nutrient, and deficiency is far more deadly and likely to occur than "overdose."

In other words, they had nefarious intentions.

Iodine in salt also evaporates over time and is pretty much 100% gone after just a few months.
