On May 23, the so-called “Pizza Index,” nicknamed by the market as the “barometer” of U.S. military actions, once again saw abnormal fluctuations. The latest data from the monitoring account Pentagon Pizza Watch shows that the current order activity for Domino’s Pizza, located 1.4 miles from the Pentagon, has surged by 227%, and traffic for another Pizzato Pizza about 2.2 miles away has also risen to 167%.

At present, the “DOUGHCON” alert level has been raised to Level 1 as of Friday evening. The so-called “Pentagon Pizza Index” has long been regarded by some internet users as one of the grassroots indicators for observing potential major actions by the U.S. military or overtime situations.

BlockBeats reported today that despite diplomatic efforts continuing, the Trump administration was still preparing for a new round of military strikes against Iran that day. As of that afternoon, no final decision had been made on whether to launch the strikes. Trump wrote on social media that, due to “special circumstances related to government affairs,” he would be unable to attend this weekend’s wedding of his son, Donald Trump Jr. He had previously planned to go on vacation to his private golf course in New Jersey before the “Memorial Day” weekend, but he has now decided to return to the White House.

According to multiple sources, given the possibility of military strikes, some personnel in the U.S. military and intelligence community have canceled their originally planned “Memorial Day” weekend leave. Defense and intelligence officials have begun updating the emergency recall rosters for U.S. overseas military bases. Meanwhile, some U.S. forces stationed in the Middle East are being rotated out of the combat zones in batches. #TradFi交易分享挑战
