Innocent people have nothing to hide and would respond to the requests of authorities. The ships were clearly headed to enemy ports, and intentionally ignored the requests to turn around.

Edit: The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are under Yemeni authority. Non-enemy ships can pass, but for the enemy... Don't like it? You are free to sail around Africa

You're not suggesting a rules-based international order, are you?

No. Rules imply they are capricious and can change at whim. We have seen that in the US’s actions many times. What the world need are laws that no one can be above or allowed to veto.
