    NO₃⁻ is reduced; I₂ is oxidized

    Explanation:

    I think your equation is supposed to be

    NO₃⁻ + I₂ ⟶ IO₃⁻ + NO₂

    If you break the equation into two half-reactions, you get

    NO₃⁻ + 2H⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ NO₂ + H₂O

    I₂ + 3H₂O ⟶ IO₃⁻ + 6H⁺ + 5e⁻

    We see that NO₃⁻ gains an electron, so it is reduced.

    I₂ loses five electrons, so it is oxidized.
