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.
