Who are the ships supplying? And why are they firing on them? What's the stated reason for the blockade?

The answers to these questions demonstrate why the Signal story is so important.

Don't think it matters who is being supplied. Merchant ships are targets of opportunity

It doesn't matter who is being supplied? If a ship was supplying the Nazis in WW2, wouldn't that be relevant to its being targeted?

No it doesn't matter.

Like 60% of the ships passing through the Red Sea go to European ports from Asian countries like China, India, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea.
