How do we convert 3-Nitroaniline to 1-chloro-3-iodobenzene?

I am actually searching for a shorter method than the one I have.

Here are the reagents I used:

1)[itex]NaNO_2/HCl[/itex]
2)CuCl
3)Sn/HCl
4)[itex]NaNO_2/HCl[/itex]
5)KI

So it took me 5 steps.Can anyone please suggest a shorter one?

That looks ok to me, it's classical chemistry. A shorter route, I can't think of one off hand!
