Israel and Iran

u

Marshall Island problem then.

Yes and no.
The Marshall Islands | U.S. Department of the Interior
Under the Compact, the United States provides economic and financial aid and defends the RMI's territorial integrity.

Technical Difficulties
The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a sovereign nation. While the government is free to conduct its own foreign relations, it does so under the terms of the Compact. The United States has full authority and responsibility for security and defense of the Marshall Islands, and the Government of the Marshall Islands is obligated to refrain from taking actions that would be incompatible with these security and defense responsibilities. The United States and the Marshall Islands have full diplomatic relations. Marshallese citizens may work and study in the United States without a visa, and they join the U.S. military at a higher rate than any U.S. state.

Iran probably chose a ship like this to test us given the Marshall's relationship with the US.
