Because it is controlled by the Houthis, Islamist terrorists threatening global trade, overthrowing a quasi-friendly government and REINSTITUTING SLAVERY.

What lead them to be on position to be able to do such a thing?

Who helped to stabilise the previous gov & infrastructure (hospitals) ... and stopped overnight destabilising the country early pre-covid?

I don't know, but I presume the answer is us.

But that doesn't mean it is at all reasonable to just let them shoot at our boats and, I reiterate, REINSTITUTE SLAVERY.

Not everyone's boats, just the ones of countries facilitating genocide, as they are obligated to under international law. They're not touching Chinese boats, Iranian boats, Turkish boats, etc.

Boats marked with a specific country are not strictly captained, crewed, or even owned by individuals from that country.

They aren't targeting boats based on their flags, nor their captain, nor their crew, nor their ownership, but based on their connection to Israel.

They are targeting indiscriminately. You might hear otherwise from their statements, but the reality is they don't seem to have capacity to distinguish

Edit: this has happened numerous times and there is plenty of evidence. Sorry it's your heroes commiting atrocities
