Because iptables-save does not know where you want to be saving the
file. Instead, it produces the file on the standard output - it is up to
you to redirect the results into a suitable file.

A common place is /var/lib/iptables/active, so you should run
$ sudo iptables-save > /var/lib/iptables/active
