    So the workers on the tankers getting shot at are considered enemy combatants? Because if not, then they’d be innocent people.

      Innocent people have nothing to hide and would respond to the requests of authorities. The ships were clearly headed to enemy ports, and intentionally ignored the requests to turn around.
