A holy day in Iran marked by violence
as protesters clashed with police forces about a week ago.
Demonstrators have spoken out
against the country's government for months now,
but the clashes on the Muslim holy day of Ashura
were the worst so far.
At least seven people killed in the violence,
though protesters and security forces disagree on
how those deaths happened.
Meantime, Iran's government says
it's getting ready to hold a "large-scale military exercise" next month.
The country says the goal
is to prepare its forces to fight against an attack
by the nation's enemies.
There's been a lot of tension
based around Iran's nuclear program.
The country says the program is for peaceful purposes.
Other countries, including the U.S.,
believe Iran might be trying to build nuclear weapons.
