ICl is a solid or liquid near room temp, so increase the concentration of that if you're working in a solvent. Also you could use a Lewis acid catalyst, one that binds well with Cl, to speed up the iodination of benzene.

Basically everything you say haha
OP, would you like to join the A-level chemistry whatsapp group we have?

What kind of catalyst/acid can we use to speed the process? I know if you when you want to react benzene and Br2 you can use FeBr2 as a halogen-carrier catalyst, but what can mix when you are trying to do the halogenation of benzene with ICl?

Fantastic, thank you very much! If it is ok with you, I would like to ask another thing. I need to turn benzene into iodobenzene by adding I2. It is a similar process but how do you form a good I+ electrophile? is it: I2 + HNO3 -> I+ + HNO3I-?
