Overview

  • The Pentagon Pizza Report observed a massive rise in pizza orders near the Pentagon on Thursday evening, roughly one hour before explosions rocked Tehran.
  • Early Friday, about 200 Israeli fighter jets struck Tehran, the Natanz nuclear facility and multiple military installations in a large-scale operation.
  • The strikes killed the Iranian army commander and decimated the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards’ air force.
  • Iran responded later Friday with rockets fired at Israeli territory and senior officials have vowed further retaliation.
  • The report relies on anonymized foot-traffic data from providers like Google, mirroring delivery surges seen before the 1989 Panama invasion and Operation Desert Storm.
