In the narrow passage where roughly a third of the world's oil flows, American and Iranian forces exchanged fire on Thursday, each claiming the other struck first. The incident tests a fragile ceasefire that President Trump insists remains intact — raising the older, harder question of what peace means when weapons are still being used. The Strait of Hormuz has long been a place where the distance between diplomacy and conflict collapses to almost nothing, and this week that distance collapsed again.
