> The US Navy ship has every right to be there under international law, and its reason for being there is to repel attacks on civilian shipping that also has every right to be there.
Every right to go to another countries waters and kill it's solders who are imposing a blockade ordered by their government? - A blockade that has killed 0 people I would add.
I mean the US can't possibly give in to these terrorists demands right - to stop bombardment of civilians and let in humanitarian aid....
For clarification, do you believe preventing aid from entering gaza under the threat of violence is self defense, but preventing ships from going through the red sea trade route is terrorism? - I mean these ships are informed that they are breaking a blockade and chose to continue anyway, and still no civilians have been hurt.
> Every right to go to another countries waters...?
Yes.
First, the Houthis aren't the recognized government of Yemen by any country except Iran; they don't (legally) control Yemen's territorial waters.
Second, even if they did, the vessels are permitted under international law (including treaties Yemen is subject to) to transit the strait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_passage

If you run around shooting a gun at people and only hit their cars in the process, expect to still be shot by police if you don't stop.

No, I similarly believe Israel is violating international law in various ways. I'm opposed to their blockade of Gaza.
