it was more of a rhetorical question. no such branch exists in iran. there is the IRI Air Defence Force and the IRGC-ASF. Qods Force is branch of IRGC dedicated to extraterritorial operations (i.e. outside of Iran), but they don't have their own air force.

Is it an independent branch or a joint operational command of anti-aircraft assets of the Air Force and Army?

Patriot air defence system:

1 battalion = 4 batteries
1 battery = 6 launchers
1 launcher = 4 PAC-2 (OR 16 PAC-3 missiles)

--> each battery has up to 24 PAC-2 interceptors
--> each battalion has up to 96 PAC-2 interceptors

According to MDDA, Israel has 3 Patriot PAC-2 batteries deployed = 4 x 6 x 3 = 72 PAC-2 missile interceptors deployed across all of Israel at any one time.

A US carrier group would be capable of deploying fighters to shoot down drones and cruise missiles. US cruisers and destroyers are capable of firing SM-3 and SM-6 missiles to down ballistic missiles.
 
Launch of several Arrow anti-ballistic missile interceptors in the area of Palmachim airbase is reported

I don't know about that, I know they have based THAAD in Saudi Arabia. In Israel, the Americans have 1 AN/TPY-2 X-band radar at Mount Keren.

Jordan: 2 bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Kuwait: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Qatar: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE and 1 AN/TPY-2 X-band radar
United Arab Emirates: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Saudi Arabia: 1 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE and 1 SAM bty THAAD

Since the US promises to help Israel under the command of CENTCOM, the US can probably provide some type of early warning due to its orbital surveillance system that detects missile launches leaving the atmosphere.

Tracking would be carried out by the organic radars of the Patriot system and the THAAD that they operate and perhaps by some long-range ground-based radar.

The bad thing about the Saudi Patriots is that they are, unless I'm mistaken, the PAC-2 version, and are not effective against medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBM).

PAC-2s are best suited to act against tactical ballistic missiles (TBM) and short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM).

They are complemented by THAAD which are capable of engaging SRBM, MRBM and IRBM missiles.

Iran has a right to defend itself. This makes no sense israelis attacked an embassy but iran not allowed to attack back. Satan Netanyahu is utterly accountable for it. You are correct mate we may be looking at a risk of a regional war. Pakistan needs to pop its nuclear on alert!
