Duncan was well outside the international limit unless said limit has been unilaterally extended. Perhaps it was the presence of the helicopter near to the "trawler" that raised hackles. (Just "spinning the narrative for you")

Sorry, I misunderstood the point. Was erroneously thinking about passing the straits, my stupideness.
Sure, the territorials waters are 12 nautical miles only.
Probing/monitoring exercise is another point. NATO is doing similar things in Mediterranean for decades.
