BlockBeats news, on May 23, the "Pizza Index," a market nickname for the barometer of U.S. military operations, showed another abnormal fluctuation. Latest data from the monitoring account Pentagon Pizza Watch indicates that Domino's Pizza, located 1.4 miles from the Pentagon, has seen a 227% surge in current order activity, while traffic at Pizzato Pizza, approximately 2.2 miles away, has risen to 167%.
The alert level for "DOUGHCON" has been raised to Level 1 on Friday evening. The so-called "Pentagon Pizza Index" has long been regarded by some internet users as a grassroots indicator for monitoring potential major U.S. military operations or overtime conditions.
BlockBeats reported today that, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, the Trump administration was preparing for a new military strike against Iran. As of the afternoon, no final decision had been made on whether to proceed with the strike. Trump posted on social media that, due to "special circumstances related to government affairs," he would be unable to attend his son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding this weekend. He had originally planned to spend the Memorial Day weekend at his private golf course in New Jersey but has now decided to return to the White House.
According to multiple sources, in light of potential military strikes, some U.S. military and intelligence personnel have canceled their planned Memorial Day weekend leave. Defense and intelligence officials have begun updating emergency recall lists for U.S. overseas military bases. Meanwhile, certain U.S. military units stationed in the Middle East are being rotated out of the theater in phases.
