Lead has greater density than iron and both are denser than water. is buoyant force Force on lead object greater than , less than or equal to the buoyant force on an iron object of the same volume?

Only if they are both the same volume and are immersed in the same density fluid ( in the same local value of g ) otherwise no.
E.g. you put a litre of lead and a litre of iron in the same vat of oil (at the same depth if the oil is a bit compressible) then bouyant forc is the same.
E.g. you put a kilo of lead and a kilo of iron in the same vat - the lead has lower volume and so less boyant force ( it displaces a lower mass of oil )

Buoyant force is same on both objects.
As thier volume is same they displace equal volume of water. So the buoyant force is same.
No matter with densities!
