Spot for Intentional Grounding

Team A, 3rd and 7 from their 6. QB drops back to the 3, not seeing anyone open and B player closing fast throws the ball into an area not occupied by a receiver.

Flag for intentional grounding.

Half the distance from the 3, loss of down, 4th and 11-1/2 from the 1-1/2.

LJ blows whistle and questions whether the enforcement spot should be the previous spot since last play was a pass play.

Question. Intentional grounding is a running play for an illegal forward pass, or, should it be a loose ball play making enforcement spot the previous spot?
