Much like every other dodgy solution. My solution to this is not to have
it attached to a console. Run iptables out of your init.d and then it
shouldn't have anywhere to output to.

However you could attempt (unsure if this works, too tired to try)
appending `1>/dev/null 2>/var/log/firewall.messages` to the end of your
iptables command(s). That should send everything belonging to the stdout
to /dev/null and everything from the stderr (what you see on your
console) to the file /var/log/firewall.messages
