# Hot Blava

The national debate will always seep over into local politics and thus, events on the national stage will find their way into Hot Blava. We hope that Hot Blava will be an interesting mixture of national issues and issues that affect Utah, and particularly Utah County where we live. Mostly, it is great to write about issues you're thinking about as it solidifies your thinking... or exposes your own irrationality. You can decide which is which.

### Getting Nervous About Iran

I don't know a lot about our history with Iran, or about the history of Iran in general. But I'm very concerned about comments coming out of Iran. I just read this AP report today.

> [Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali] Larijani also warned of a "crushing" response if its nuclear and military facilities were attacked by the U.S. or Israel.
> "If there is any truth in such talks, Israel will suffer greatly. It's a very small country within our range," he said.

As part of an ongoing stream of threats to Israel, this is getting serious. It is all the more strange given the simultaneous acknowledgement from the president of Iran that "Jews [have] lived peacefully among Muslims for centuries." The history of the state of Israel is an interesting one. It is really quite a tiny piece of land for so much contention.
