For a full list of IANA allocations please see

I'd just check the web site or directly if it was important to know
What makes you think that the answer you get when you look up www.iana.org is what the real IANA wanted you to get?

What makes you think that the address you use to reach www.iana.org reaches the real IANA web server, and not some other device?

This is not a Grand Paranoid Call-to-Arms, necessarily, but it seems odd to distrust a non-signed email but at the same time trust an HTTP url.
