A spike in pizza orders outside the Pentagon on Saturday night led a quirky social media account to suggest that something big was about to happen.Turns out, they were right.The Pentagon Pizza Report is an online page that has gained attention for tracking food delivery trends near US military hubs.The page flagged “HIGH activity” at a Papa John’s near the Pentagon shortly before US President Donald Trump confirmed that American warplanes had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.Less than an hour after the pizza traffic alert, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that the US military had launched a successful strike on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, which are three key locations linked to Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme. “A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” Trump wrote. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”The account repeated the MAGA chief’s words in a follow-up post, saying, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”Adding to the buzz, the same page noted “abnormally low activity levels” at Freddie’s Beach Bar, a well-known place near the Pentagon often mentioned in such posts. “Classic indicator for potential overtime at the Pentagon,” the account said, suggesting that the quiet night could mean people were working late or something important was going on.At around 9:36pm Eastern Time, about half an hour before Trump’s national address, the account also noted a “HUGE traffic surge” at the Domino’s near MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. This base is home to CENTCOM, the US military command that oversees operations in the Middle East.Trump, in his evening remarks, warned Iran of future consequences if it continued its hostile actions. “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,” he said. “If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”The Pentagon Pizza Report became known earlier when it correctly guessed the timing of Israel’s June 12 strikes on Iran, reports Fox News. The account mixes humour with analysis and has gained a small following for its unusual but sometimes accurate way of tracking military activity by watching fast-food orders.
