The world is watching when and how Iran retaliates against Israel, and United States New York State Congressman Ben · Geller predicts that "war is about to break out" based on the volume of pizza orders in Washington, D.C. Geller said on social media that real-time statistics from Google Maps show that during the peak hours of evening dining, the crowds of pizza parlors near government departments such as the United States Department of Defense "increased significantly", while the surrounding bars "dropped sharply" during this period, indicating that US government officials, including the Pentagon, worked overtime overnight and had no time to rest, which may indicate that "war is about to break out."
It is reported that this method of judging the international situation based on the "pizza order volume" in Washington is called the "pizza index". It dates back to the Cold War, when Soviet intelligence tracked the number of pizza orders in Washington, D.C., to gauge "the scale of United States action in response to the global crisis." It should be said that the "pizza index" still has its scientific nature, after all, Washington, D.C. is the political center of the United States, where a large number of government agencies and government personnel are concentrated, pizza as a convenient food commonly eaten by United States people, and the change in its order volume can indeed reflect the work rhythm and status of the United States government to a certain extent.
Spain's "As" newspaper also cited the "pizza index" in April this year, reporting that after Iran launched a retaliatory missile attack on Israel, the Pentagon and pizza shops around the White House were full of orders, and around the 90s of the last century, the US invasion of Panama and the Persian Gulf War, a similar situation also occurred. Therefore, Geller's judgment that the Middle East "may be about to go to war" is not a joke based on the surge in orders for Washington pizza, in fact, just two days after Geller's prediction, Secretary of State Blinken warned that "Iran will retaliate against Israel in the next 24 to 48 hours."
In fact, Iran and Allah retaliate against Israel, which is inevitable and does not need to be guessed, after all, Israel ran to Iran's house to kill people, which made Tehran very embarrassed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was humiliating, so Iran and its armed forces will inevitably retaliate against Israel. But the crux of the matter is whether a retaliatory attack is likely to turn into a large-scale war that will affect many countries in the Middle East. The main reason why it is unlikely is that Iran does not want a full-scale war with United States and Israel, and he knows that once it starts, it will definitely lose.
The reason why it is said that there is indeed a certain variable, that is, Iran does not want to fight, and Israel may force Tehran to "have to fight". According to a report by the Israel Times on the 5th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security meeting to discuss countermeasures for possible retaliation by Iran, including a "preemptive" strike against Iran. Security officials stressed that the Israeli government could only take a "preemptive" military strike against Iran to destroy its retaliatory capabilities if Israel "received accurate information confirming Tehran's imminent attack."
Everyone thinks about it, originally Israel ran to Iran's house to kill people, it was already pressing the Persian cat to the ground and rubbing it, Iran retaliated, even if they were even, and both sides were good to step down, but now Israel does not let Iran retaliate, Iran wants to retaliate, Israel will have to "strike first", and then teach Iran a hard lesson, which is "too much deception". This would leave Iran "no choice" because the supreme leader would not be able to face the hardliners at home, and Iran would not be able to account for Allah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
Therefore, now it is not Iran that is really likely to cause a big war in the Middle East, but Israel, so the White House and the Pentagon worked overtime overnight, eating pizza to discuss countermeasures, and being ready to respond at any time, not so much worried about Iran, but more worried about Israel. But United States can't do anything with Israel, the Jews are too powerful in United States, so it is obviously Israel to provoke Iran, obviously Israel is constantly causing trouble for United States, but the beautiful country can only pinch its nose and admit it, and have to constantly reiterate its support for Israel, which is very "aggrieved".
So, what is Israel's purpose in such a day-long tossing? In fact, the purpose is very simple, that is, to let the United States "choose one of the two": either support me to take Gaza, give me ammunition, and carry the blame for me; Either I will blossom on all sides, trigger a war in the Middle East, and pull the United States into the water, you look at the choice! Including this time Israel's threat of a "preemptive" strike against Iran, it is also urging United States to make an early decision, otherwise the Middle East will become a pot of porridge, and United States will have to be distracted to extinguish the fire, and there is no time to "trap Russia" and "contain China".
