Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel's allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it's just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.

Piracy can be a part of war, look at privateers in European conflict

Yes but Yemen is attacking shipping with the military, not under a mercenary letter of marque. It's interdiction not piracy.

They attacked the ships, not pirated them.

You wouldn’t copy a ship

The only real difference between pirates and privateers/navy is that the latter is state sanctioned.
