First of all, law is only meaningful if it can be enforced. Therefore, the so-called international law is often in limbo. The law of each country is almost always enforced by its own law enforcement. But who enforces the international law? If it is not enforced, is it really a law or just a cry of injustice?

law and law enforcement are 2 different topics,and this discussion is about the former, but you are changing it to the latter. What the international legal code says and how its enforced are separate topics. On the former aka legal code, US is in violation, and that is still accurate irrespective if there is enforcement or not.

Speaking of law without enforcement is to leave law without substance. In fact, thinking that way is very dangerous because it gives a false appearance of law and makes people forget its violent essence. Law is violence. Whether a law is just depends on whether the violence it brings in is just.

No. it has been a tanker with 1.5 million barrel capacity and story starts from months earlier, there has been two receiving tankers. one tanker was seized by Iran shortly, and US navy didn't get the chance to intervene.
the second one managed to get away till on october 24 while was being escorted by US navy was seized by IRGC navy.

Huh? So the Iranian tanker that was hijacked wasn't recent? Thought it was weird that Iran says it was hijacked and the U.S. transferred the oil soon after in the Vietnamese tanker and the Iranian Navy reacted swiftly.
