At the Strait of Hormuz, where a third of the world's seaborne oil passes through a narrow corridor of water and competing ambitions, only six vessels made the crossing on Monday — a quiet number that speaks louder than any diplomatic statement. Washington and Tehran are offering contradictory accounts of whether they are even speaking to one another, and in that gap between assertion and denial, the maritime world has found its answer: wait.
