Why then are you bothering to make an ISO image ? The ISO 9660 format is
useful only on optical media. You can use a USB flash drive just like
any other disk drive.

The iso boots with no problems from a USB flash drive on machines using BIOS.

It is not the ISO part that boots, it is the MBR part of an hybrid image. A pure ISO filesystem is not bootable on a USB flash drive, only on an optical disc.

I need it to also boot on machines using UEFI.

Create an EFI partition, mount it as /boot/efi and install GRUB with --removable.
