Original Note:
False: Yemen does NOT actually have "every right" to deny passage through their waters. The UN Convention on Law of the Sea (of which Yemen is a party) codifies long-held maritime norms and recognizes the right of "innocent"/"transit" passage through territorial waters. https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/part3.htm https://www.journalofterritorialandmaritimestudies.net/post/2020/06/05/understanding-innocent-and-transit-passage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_passage
