What is the justification of two equally strong peaks in the mass spectrum for bromine, while for iodine only one peak at 127amu is indicated?

In mass spectrum, the number of peaks tells about the number of isotopes, while the heights of the peaks represent their natural abundance. Two equally strong peaks in the mass spectrum of bromine indicate that bromine has two isotopes which have almost equal abundance. While, only one peak for iodine at 127 amu indicates that iodine has only one isotope with atomic mass 127 amu.
