Overview
- The Pentagon Pizza Tracker shifted its status to “something might happen” late Wednesday after reporting unusual activity near the Defense Department.
- The tracker cited triple‑digit increases at several nearby chains, including claims of roughly 1000% at Domino’s and 200–300% at others, figures that lack independent verification.
- OSINT accounts reported above‑average late‑day and evening activity at shops such as Domino’s, Extreme Pizza, Papa John’s, and Pizzato, which drove viral chatter about crisis planning.
- Speculation online centered on the possibility of U.S. action against Iran, with some posts guessing at timing after market hours, though no official link to operations has been established.
- Heightened attention comes as protests spread in Iran, the U.S. urges citizens to leave the country, President Donald Trump issues warnings to Tehran, and Iranian TV aired a reported assassination threat, even as experts stress the pizza metric is not scientific.
