If the ISO was copied to the USB stick in a way that it can boot,
then the old partition table of the USB stick was overwritten at that
occasion.
The data of the ISO quite surely overwrote the filesystem metadata
of the original partition 1.

So you will most probably have to start with a new partition table and
a new filesystem.

There is half hope for getting your old partition table back.
If the old table was GPT, then there might still be the backup table at
the end of the USB stick. (I actually advise to overwrite this backup
table too, when copying an ISO to USB stick.)

You may try whether a GPT aware partition editor offers you to restore
the backup table as main table. The answer to the question which editor
to use for this purpose is better left to Fedora experts.


Have a nice day :)
