you are missing a simple fact

if "iptables.service" exists anything under /etc/init.d/ is ignored
service is redirecting to systemctl

systemctl does not unterstand "save" and will not redirect to any
init-script and so systemd would have to be patched what will not
happen

[root at rh:~]$ service httpd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  restart httpd.service
