Military posturing toward Iran scores moderately on constitutional damage (A=18.5): separation of powers concerns (3) regarding unilateral military deployment decisions, rule of law (2) for potential circumvention of congressional war powers, and violence risk (4) for escalation potential. Severity modifiers near baseline with slight durability increase for precedent-setting executive military action. Mechanism modifier 1.3 for policy_change, scope 1.4 for international with narrow population. However, B-score dominates at 30.8. Layer 1 hype is extremely high: outrage_bait (8) for war fears, media_friendliness (9) for dramatic 'armada' language, meme_ability (7) for quotable phrasing. Layer 2 strategic scoring elevated: pattern_match (8) fits Trump's maximum pressure campaign, mismatch (7) between theatrical announcement and actual constitutional process. High intentionality (11/15) for deliberate public military posturing with media-optimized language. Delta D=-12.3 clearly places this as List B distraction despite real policy implications.
