Doc Text:
.The `iptables` back end in `firewalld` is deprecated In RHEL 9, the `iptables` framework is deprecated. As a consequence, the `iptables` backend and the `direct interface` in `firewalld` are also deprecated. Instead of the `direct interface` you can use the native features in `firewalld` to configure the required rules.

> iptables deprecation

iptables was deprecated globally in RHEL-9, but maybe it's worth mentioning that the firewalld iptables backend is also deprecated. This includes the direct interface since it's backed by iptables.
