The addition of iodine to alkenes is thermodynamically unfavorable. The addition of halogens (bromine or chlorine) to the double bond of alkenes could follow several mechanisms. A mechanism analogous to the hydrogenation of alkenes would add the halogen atoms from the the same side and only yield the cis product.
