The ISO contains multiple partitions, so probably not. Why are you
trying to do this, precisely? Maybe you want to install archlinux
following the install guide, but installing to the USB partition instead
of an HDD. For example,

Alternatively, you can use grub to boot an ISO *file* as a loopback
device. Some people do this to create multiboot USBs.
