Monitor official State Department and White House statements for any formal shift in Iran policy that could involve executive authority or war powers questions.

Why This Score

This is routine international diplomatic reporting on Iran ceasefire status with no institutional mechanism, no domestic governance action, and no clear intentional distraction pattern tied to Trump administration accountability topics. It scores near-zero on constitutional damage and low on hype/distraction, meeting all noise gate criteria.
