Our satellite intel picked up signals of the ground radar being turned on & detected infrared blips of 2 missile launches, probably SA-15s (TOR), followed shortly by another infrared blip of an explosion.

Yep, we already have the evidence.

Almost exactly what happened in Ukraine. I don’t imagine the Iranians do a lot of training on their mobile SAM launchers.

We have many satellites over Iran. They are designed to detect ground radar and launch signatures.
............
The Tor SA-15 missile is vehicle launched. Up to 4 vehicles are controlled by a command vehicle.
...........
The command vehicle, only, has target aquisition radar and can be linked to other ground radar such as the Tehran airport. As the launchers don’t broadcast aquisition radar they are safe from our HARM missiles.
............
Once the launcher receives a fire command is turns on its engagement radar and launches 5-8 seconds later.
...........
The system is intended to be automatic.
