We present the results of a search for and analysis of line-profile variations in the spectrum of the star iota Her. The observations were acquired with the 1.8 m telescope of the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (Republic of Korea) in May-June 2004. We obtained 69 spectra of the star with signal-to-noise ratios about of 300 and a time resolution of 5-7 min. Profile variability was revealed for six lines of HI, HeI, and SiIII, in the central parts of the lines. The variability amplitude is about of (1.2)% in units of the intensity of the adjacent continuum. Evidence was found for cyclic variations of the lines, with periods from 7 hour to 2.9 day. We conclude that iota Her belongs to the group of slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars.
