	var utms = [

		"utm_source=" + urlParams.get('utm_source'),
		"utm_campaign=" + urlParams.get('utm_campaign'),

this should grab parameters from https://mywebsite.com?utm_medium=123&utm_source=abc&utm_campaign=xyz&utm_content=cdf and append it to your iframe like <iframe src="https://somepage.com?utm_medium=123&utm_source=abc&utm_campaign=xyz&utm_content=cdf"></iframe>

maybe you should try deferring this script like

<script>
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { // make sure page is all loaded
   if (window.location.search) { ... }
});
</script>
