I don't think so, the wording gives the US the diplomatic cover to order North Korean and Iranian ships to "pull over to the side of the road and open the trunk". I suspect we will now do so. Hum NK did just that to the United States in 1968 and they still have the ship. Of course we never tried to get it back. There was this POTUS on TV making empty threats to the government NK you see. They haven't taken us serious since. Many persons have forgotten that dark period in our nations foreign policy.

"Many persons have forgotten that dark period in our nations foreign policy."
It's gonna get darker.
NK is starving it's people.
It's only chance for for survival is to blackmail the west.
Nk cant produce enough to feed it's own.
Until it's dictator Kim falls this is going to heat up.
Kim knows that the west will pay him off rather then start
a war and if he doesn't get his payoff soon he will bring us
to the brink of war.

Aye. And that ship is still on the US Navy active list.
They moved her all the way around Korea a few years ago and we did nothing. Some rumor that they stuffed it full of explosives and put kids on it to prevent us from interfering. Not sure how true that is. But nonetheless, we did nothing.
