A directory. :-)

Underscores and hypens are traditionally not a problem. Spaces
can be and need extra attention. But as you're using PROPER
filenames, it should be easy to get the target directory name
from the ISO filename.
The unelegant way is to use basename:
DIRNAME=`basename ${FILE} .iso`
Of course, there's a sh builtin for the same purpose:
DIRNAME=${FILE%.iso}
Adding this to the iteration list, you can easily create
the directories needed prior to the mount attempt.
