Hours after CENTCOM’s heavy IRGC strike wave, open-source reporting described fresh Iranian ballistic launches from Khomein (Markazi) and Tabriz (northwest) aimed at US forces at Muwaffaq Salti; this package records the Khomein→Azraq arc as the best-sourced single origin–destination pair from that night.
X and secondary wire summaries on 30 July reported ballistic launches from Khomein and Tabriz toward Jordan after the 29 July CENTCOM heavy wave. Mehdi H. and other OSINT accounts listed multiple interior cities; Jordan intercept activity was reported but impact claims stayed contested. To stay atomic under the route contract, only the Khomein origin is drawn (Tabriz is noted in copy, not as a second invented arc). No pad coordinates; origin radius is provincial-scale estimated.
Verification: Probable
Evidence: Ballistic missiles launched from near Tabriz, Yazd, and Khomein targeting Muwaffaq Salti, Iran ballistic launches from Khomein and Tabriz reportedly aimed at US forces in Jordan, Prior Khomein→MSAB geometry and distance (~1,500 km)
Launch-area and aimpoint reporting multi-sourced on open social/OSINT channels; CENTCOM intercept/impact statement for this specific night not settled in the package sources. Origin confidence stays estimated.
