I'm confused, do you think international waters, like shipping lanes leaving the Red sea, are a thing or do you believe might makes right and if you can exert force you control it? If the the former then the US and the Houthis are both in the wrong, if the latter then they are both fine. So which is it?
The Bab Al-Mandreb straight is not international waters. It is the territorial waters of Yemen, Eritrea, and Djibouti.
