What to know about the Iran war today:

• The U.S. carried out retaliatory strikes against Iran on Friday after Iranian forces hit a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier. On Saturday morning, Bahrain reported strikes by Iranian drones, which the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed targeted a “U.S. terrorist army” in the Gulf state. 
• President Trump on Friday called Iran’s attack a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire, as Tehran and Washington appear to remain at odds on even basic points in their memorandum of understanding, including control of the strait and how Iran will spend its unfrozen funds. Mr. Trump has not publicly reacted to Saturday’s strike. 
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the framework of a deal Friday between Lebanon and Israel, but Hezbollah, which was not part of the negotiations, rejected the deal on Saturday, calling it a “disgrace” and promised to keep fighting Israeli forces.
