The unit files both have After=network.target, and this in turn implies
After=network-pre.target. Both iptables.service & ip6tables.service have
Before=network-pre.target since Fedora >= 35 and RHEL >= 8.4.

systemd: start libvirtd after firewalld/iptables services
the Before=network-pre.target didn't exist, but we can rely on it now
given our supported platforms matrix.
The firewalld.service has similarly has a Before=network-pre.target,
even when we took that commit above, so this dep was in face never
actually needed. This answers the question posed in that above commit
message about firewalld ordering.
