Rob is correct - recent Ubuntu ISO images should be directly bootable when dded to a USB flash drive. This has been the case since at least 16.04, probably earlier, for at least amd64 images (I'd presume i386 images, too, but amd64 are the only ones I use, so I can't vouch for them personally).

An iso file is actually a DVD/CD image rather than a disk image and so can't be directly written to a disk via dd. Instead use something like 'usb-creator' to take the iso image and put it on the disk in the right layout etc. Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
