If the latter, as I'm kind of reading it, then its much weaker than other encounter powers, notably the halfling's defensive power. +2 to defenses after you've been hit, which assumes you will be attacked again, isn't as good as a defense you can activate after being hit or even before being attacked.

The power can change whether or not you're hit just as the Shield spell or Staff of Defense can. Also, unlike the Halfling's Second Chance, your bonus to defenses granted by Iron Mind against the attack applies against more than just one attack and against more than one enemy. It's a perfectly fine racial power.
