Seven days after a ceasefire was signed to end a four-month conflict, Iran and the United States exchanged military strikes on Saturday, each insisting the other had broken the agreement first. The deeper quarrel beneath the accusations is an ancient one dressed in modern form: who holds authority over a narrow passage through which a fifth of the world's energy flows. In the Strait of Hormuz, the question of sovereignty and the question of survival have become the same question, and no memorandum of understanding has yet answered it.
