The booster that landed in Iraq is around 650km away from Isfahan, as well as 100-150km away from the Iranian . It's physically impossible for the warhead to have travelled to Isfahan, let alone to have landed in Iranian territory. This is a pure lack of understanding of missiles

Russians using Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munitions under the name Geran-2 The drone is guided by a mix of GNSS/INS & an infrared seeker While not confirmed, it probably also has ARM capabilities & likely was the weapon used in the April 2021 destruction of a Patriot system

The Parchamdar (flagship) documentary gives another look at this new jet powered Shahed-136 loitering munition variant with an EO ball • Would serve as Iran's "high end" more expensive loitering munition, with jet engine & EO ball for locating targets
