The USA cares for no law, follows no law, and respects no law.
The captain could've chose to stay at the fleet review, but intentionally steamed towards the US fleet and certain and unnecessary destruction.
Wrong place, wrong time. Maybe Iran's rockets are also unarmed.
Why? If you care about the rules based order that we have mostly try to adhere to for decades, all of this is an enormous attack on it.
Is the United States at war or not? What basis is there to sink a frigate leaving a naval wargame exercise? Was it planning to bomb Diego Garcia?
What basis was there to sink several smaller south-american boats in the course of the past months? Alleged drug smuggling, which is not punishable by death afaik, and they still murdered those people.
For a president and party who refuse to declare a war, its paradoxical to claim this is a valid wartime target if there is, in fact, no war...
update on the US death penalty code: Sailing While Iranian is now an offense too
