Can screen readers read iframe content?
When an iframe is given a meaningful title, screen reader users can pull up a list of frames and identify the content or purpose of the iframe based on its title. Without a meaningful name, a screen reader user may just hear “frame”, the file name, path of the iframe, or an unhelpful name like “javascript”.

There are no distinct accessibility issues with inline frames.

What are the accessibility and usability issues?
Using iframes: what are the accessibility and usability issues? I’m looking at revising one website in a way that would make heavy use of iframes. It’s not a commercial site (not even Adsense), and I’m not very tech-savvy, but I want to have things set up as well as possible.
Is it safe to use iframes in Google search?
Content displayed via iFrames may not be indexed and available to appear in Google’s search results. We recommend that you avoid the use of iFrames to display content. If you do include iFrames, make sure to provide additional text-based links to the content they display, so that Googlebot can crawl and index this content.
