Because, as the warships are US flagged, all that matters for their conduct (until a UN resolution is passed or ICC takes action) is US Law.
Since the USN vessels are not within the internationally recognized jurisdiction of Yemen, Yemeni laws don’t apply. So it can’t really be illegal, then? Or is the law that no one, anywhere on earth, is allowed to disagree with them?
The Saudi coalition (including the US; the US navy even directly took part in the blockade) has waged war on Ansarallah for years, and created an artificial famine that killed hundreds of thousands, mostly children. The US is waging an illegal war of aggression and genocide on the people of Yemen. They don’t need a UN resolution to have the right to defend themselves.
I’m not talking about US law. Who gives a fuck about US law? The ships are there to attack Ansarallah, so they have it coming.
