Trump says the US owns the Strait of Hormuz and might just keep it. Iran's military calls that a lie and says the waterway remains under complete Iranian control. Between these two irreconcilable claims sits a genuine Oman-brokered negotiation, a global oil market burning through its buffers, and a war with no clear endpoint.
