It could certainly be an optical illusion.
It could be a tactic to confuse anti missile batteries, by firing half a second after apogee. Gravity is fixed/known, but a secondary booster could be fired at different accelerations. Also it would leave less time to intercept
Not sure Iranian missiles are that advanced. Even the Soviet missiles designed to take out supercarriers only had the most basic terminal maneuverability. And those were done by fins. Even the US has only recently caught up with that level of ballistic missile tech by the mid 2000s
It is 2025. Soviet missiles are no longer the most advanced technology and it's not impossible to imagine that Iran has developed technology better than that of a country that hasn't existed for 25 years.
There is much evidence supporting Iran as having missiles capable of maneuvering post launch.
