Turkish President Erdogan urged Trump to mediate the Iran crisis while expressing concerns about potential refugee flows. This represents diplomatic engagement on Middle East tensions.
This is diplomatic posturing between international leaders with no constitutional mechanism affecting US governance. Erdogan requesting Trump mediate Iran tensions is standard international relations theater. The 'norm_erosion_only' mechanism yields no scoreable constitutional drivers - there's no election interference, rule of law violation, separation of powers issue, civil rights impact, institutional capture, corruption, or violence. The 0.3 mechanism modifier on zero base equals zero. B-score reflects moderate media appeal (Iran crisis + refugee fears + Trump involvement = 8/20 Layer1) and modest strategic value (6/20 Layer2 with low intentionality at 4/15). Total B=12.18. With A<25, no constitutional mechanism, and clear diplomatic noise indicators, this classifies as Noise despite international scope.
Monitor only if this diplomatic exchange leads to actual policy changes affecting US constitutional operations, refugee admissions processes, or executive power assertions in foreign policy. Current event is standard international diplomatic communication with no domestic constitutional impact.
