Trump’s Iran deadline nears as Pentagon Pizza Index spikes; Sign of deadly new US strikes? |War,Gulf

A curious signal is gaining attention as tensions with Iran escalate — a spike in pizza orders near the Pentagon. Known as the “Pizza Index,” the theory suggests rising military activity often coincides with increased late-night orders from officials during crises. The latest surge came just before Donald Trump renewed threats to “finish the job” against Iran, amid reports of downed U.S. jets. While unconfirmed, the pattern has resurfaced during past conflicts. As deadlines loom and signals align, speculation is growing over whether Washington is preparing for a major next move.
