In the narrow waters of the Strait of Hormuz, where the world's oil and the world's tensions have long converged, the United States and Iran exchanged fire late Thursday despite a ceasefire that both governments claimed to honor. Each side accused the other of striking first, and each side threatened worse to come — even as Pakistani mediators carried a 14-point peace proposal between capitals. It is an old human pattern: the architecture of peace and the machinery of war operating simultaneously, each undermining the other.
