  Speculation, but if the damage was caused by Snapping, then presumably undoing the damage would require undoing the Snap as well, and that would be bad.

  @ArcanistLupus Good point. The time stone can partially rewind time, or loop time, or.. something else? They also have the Reality Stone. Could it have been used in conjunction with the Time Stone to restore him?

A similar event happens during the course of Doctor Strange with the Ancient One. Just like Strange, she looks through time and sees countless possible futures with countless different events playing out, but cannot find any in which she survives her battle with Kaecilius.

I’ve spent so many years peering through time, looking at this exact moment. But I can’t see past it. I’ve prevented countless terrible futures. And after each one, there’s always another. And they all lead here, but never further.

To me, this would indicate that there are events which are, to put it simply, destined to happen, and cannot be undone even with the Time Stone. The Ancient One was always going to die in battle with Kaecilius, and Tony Stark was always going to die defeating Thanos. The Time Stone's exact workings are somewhat vague, but this aspect seems consistent.

The Russos answered this question previously and it is because any scenario where Tony is saved means Thanos will win in the long run, his death is a must. No mention is made of how Thanos would win if Tony is saved.

Q: In IW, Thanos used the time stone to reverse the time so he could the already dead Vision, and it didn’t cause any time parallax. Why did no one use time stone to save Iron Man’s life in EG?

A: It’s because even if you save Iron Man, it will still not change the fact that Thanos will eventually win the war. Among the 14 million possibilities that Doctor Strange has seen, Iron Man’s sacrifice is a must for that one win scenario.

  @Adamant not exactly. In the other answer if you undo what killed Tony (which is what the time stone would do), you undo the snap (as that's what killed Tony). If the snap is undone, then Thanos and his forces are back. So he literally can't be brought back by the time stone because if he is, so are Thanos and his forces.
