In the space between two very different clocks, a conflict is being measured. President Trump declared from the Oval Office that American forces would leave Iran within weeks, the hard work done; Iran's foreign minister answered from Tehran that his country was prepared to fight for at least six months. The Strait of Hormuz — through which a fifth of the world's oil flows — hangs in the balance between those two timelines, and the world's economies are already adjusting to the uncertainty of not knowing which man's calendar will prove true.
