I tried the command:

sudo dhclient wlan0

and no result (nothing) appeared.

May I refer you to the sub-section titled "Setting static IP address in network configuration" of ArchLinux' wiki on iwd (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd).

My file whitecollar.psk located in /var/lib/iwd/ has the following contents:

[Security]
PreSharedKey=a long string of alphanumeric characters
Passphrase=aquickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog

[IPv4]
Address=192.168.30.115
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.30.1
Broadcast=192.168.30.255
DNS=8.8.8.8

Please note that I have disabled IPv6 by adding the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet"

to /etc/default/grub
