▶The chlorine molecules have gained electrons to form chloride ions.
▶They have been reduced.
▶ This is obviously a redox reaction in which chlorine is acting as an oxidising agent.

Here is your answer...
Chlorine as an oxidizing agent :
▶ Cl2 + 2 I ===> 2 Cl + I2
When chloride and iodide ions are added, chlorine gained electron while iodide lose electrons.
Chlorine as reducing agent :
▶ Chlorine doesn't act as a reducing agent because it's outermost shell needs only one electron and so it oxidizes itself therfore it is an oxidizing agent.
Hope it helps..
