Sounds harsh, but I'm afraid not. For you to access the Iberia Velázquez lounge you must be flying on a flight marketed
and operated by a
oneworld carrier.

However, you may still use the independent contract lounge, 'Sala Amnios' based on the fact that you're travelling on EL AL in BC:

Of course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try, you never know. The lounge dragons might not notice since you'll be presenting the Iberia branded boarding passes you will get at the Iberia counter at JFK.
Have a nice trip!
