iconv@1.0.0

That's a release from 7.5 years ago. Install the latest (iconv@2.3.0) and it should work.

[TejitaRajbhandari]

I tried that, but it still shows the same error.

[bnoordhuis]

That seems unlikely as node-waf was removed years ago. What does npm install iconv@2.3.0 print?

At least it's a different error. Given that exit code 134 I bet that wasn't all it printed, just what was in the log file. Can you copy/paste the output of your terminal?

Do you have make and g++ installed?

This is a permissions error:

gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, stat '/root/node_modules/iconv/.node-gyp/8.10.0'

And this I don't know; you should probably upgrade to the latest v8.x release:
