Do the drones being launched by Iran have evasive capabilities?

  Unlikely but they can be intelligent about their trajectory. That is avoid known areas of resistance, use natural features for protection. Being slow moving as they are, they are quite vulnerable to countermeasures after they have been detected. I expected a-10s, helicopter gunships guarding critical infra, but have not heard of anything like that in the news.

    A10s are expensive overkill, and helicopters are too slow. Piston engine airplanes are plenty fast enough and cheap to build and deploy.

      Now that comes from an authority :)
