sudo apt-get install fuseiso
You will need administrator privileges to install.

which then mounts the ISO automatically. It's part of gvfs, which is installed by default. I am not sure if Nautilus is set to use it by default. (If someone can clarify in a comment I'll update this)
To set it as an option as a default double click, right click on the ISO, select Properties and navigate to this tab and select the radio button to make use of it:
If it's not available as an option click Add and then select it from the list of applications, then you can go back to the tab and select it as a default action if hat's what you want.
