The /etc/iptables should be group-owned by the root group.
The ownership of the /etc/iptables directory by the root group is important because this directory hosts iptables configuration. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the iptables configuration.

The /etc/iptables shall have the 0700 permission mode.
Setting correct permissions on the /etc/iptables directory is important because this directory hosts iptables configuration. Protection of this directory is critical for system security. Restricting the permissions ensures exclusive control of the iptables configuration.
The iptables-nft package needs to be present in the container or container image.
iptables-nft controls the Linux kernel network packet filtering code. iptables-nft allows system operators to set up firewalls and IP masquerading, etc.

The iptables-persistent package needs to be present in the container or container image.
A method of configuring and maintaining firewall rules is necessary to configure a Host Based Firewall.
The iptables-persistent package should not be present in the container or container image.
Remove the iptables-persistent package from Containerfile and rebuild the container image.
Running both ufw and the services included in the iptables-persistent package may lead to conflict.
The iptables-services package needs to be present in the container or container image.
iptables-services provides the services iptables and ip6tables that have been split out of the base package since they are not active by default anymore. These services load the iptables rules during the system startup and also allow one to reload the iptables rules during runtime.

These services load the iptables rules during the system startup and also allow one to reload the iptables rules during runtime. Those iptables services conflicts with firewalld so they should be removed if firewalld is used.
The iptables package needs to be present in the container or container image.
iptables controls the Linux kernel network packet filtering code. iptables allows system operators to set up firewalls and IP masquerading, etc.
The ip6tables service can be enabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl enable ip6tables.service
The ip6tables service provides the system's host-based firewalling capability for IPv6 and ICMPv6.
The iptables service can be enabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl enable iptables.service
The iptables service provides the system's host-based firewalling capability for IPv4 and ICMP.
nftables is a replacement for iptables, ip6tables, ebtables and arptables
It is possible to mix iptables and nftables. However, this increases complexity and also the chance to introduce errors. For simplicity flush out all iptables rules, and ensure it is not loaded.
