Karrar is an Arabic word and refers to a combatant who attacks but does not flee. As such, it is also an honorary title. For instance, Imam Ali ('a) ebn Abu Talib was named Haider-e-Karrar (Haider is another word meaning lion in Arabic) by our last Prophet ('s).
Also, how is the above drone anything like the German V-1 crude cruise missile as many posters have stated? It is a remote-controlled jet-powered drone designed to carry an external payload of armaments and not an expendable cruise missile with an internal payload, such as the old V-1. Iran does manufacture cruise missiles already (such as the Nour and Nasr).
Iranian media and spokespersons are naming it as a jet combat drone. It's actually pretty impressive considering it's range of operations of 1000 km at about 900-1,000 km/s carrying 500 lbs of smart bombs/ missiles. A close counter-part is the American MQ-1C Warrior which has a maximum speed of 250 km/s and 400 lbs payload. The media reported that it can carry two bombs of each 250 lbs each or four cruise missiles.
Using the rocket-powered launch system and chute recovery, the mission turnaround time will be excessively high. On the other hand, it's a lot cheaper to build than a conventional strike aircraft. One has to wonder, though, whether it's actual effectiveness in combat is worth the resources (including developmental costs), compared to proven CM and AShM designs.
Also, what sets it apart is the internal configuration and the intended role. Otherwise, looking at those close-up images of this new drone, what immediately comes to mind is, cruise missile. Considering its size, possible power-plant (which I am guessing is a modification of the Iranian Toloue mini-jet), and overall design I think this could be very easily converted to a LACM with little trouble. Its not as streamlined or compact as a Tomahawk but it still could be a very effective LACM with the right guidance package.
Lastly, the range is possible of course but Iranian UAVs do not utilize SATCOM. The longest range UAV without SATCOM I knew of, before this drone, was the Chinese ASN-207 which has an operating range of 600 km. I would deem SATCOM almost certainly necessary for such a range. Physically its obviously possible for the drone to be able to achieve that range, but thats why target drones' range is referred to as endurance not range because they are designed to loiter over an area and not just travel in the straight line. However, if this drone is meant to come back to base, than it could very well have a range of 1000km but its Combat Radius is likely less than half that (400-500km). Range and Combat Radius are very distinct things when discussing combat aircraft so the 1000 km is certainly plausible. These are my own opinions though only. As for the speed, supersonic speed for such aircraft doesn't really serve them well since its just wastes fuel and shortens range which is why most traditional long range cruise missiles are either Hypersonic or subsonic. Perhaps there is more to it but we are not going to know for quiet some time.

As to the bomb carried on this drone, I would guess its a Mark 81 or 82. However there doesn't appear to be any optics or way to guide a bomb properly but than again this is just a mock-up for display.
