I advocate not letting belligerent warships with anti-ship cruise missiles too close to US warships, esp carriers.

She didn't need to be told to turn to a neutral port, if she didn't want to be sunk that was her only option.
She was headed to Iran instead, what did her Captain think was going to happen?
