Hi, Enrico. There are a few problems. For the gen section, you should also specify the basis set for C, H, and N. There also shouldn't be four stars before the gen section. You also have two blank lines between the gen and pseudo sections. You might want to just use lanl2dz to clean up the input to get started:
C h n 0
3-21g*
****
Ir 0
Lanl2dz
****
Ir 0
Lanl2dz
Another problem is that the structure is only in two dimensions and you're going to have overlapping atoms. This will cause a lot of problems. You should rebuild it in 3d using gaussview or gabedit or chem3d, chemcraft, etc.
