The upstream CNI project has a PR open for adding iptables and firewalld support, but this has been stalled for the better part of a year upstream. On advice of several maintainers, we are vendoring this code into libpod, to perform the relevant firewall configuration ourselves.

go-iptables
Go bindings for iptables utility.
In-kernel netfilter does not have a good userspace API. The tables are manipulated via setsockopt that sets/replaces the entire table. Changes to existing table need to be resolved by userspace code which is difficult and error-prone. Netfilter developers heavily advocate using iptables utlity for programmatic manipulation.
go-iptables wraps invocation of iptables utility with functions to append and delete rules; create, clear and delete chains.
