Perhaps "precedent" wasn't the correct word? It's been done before. Not often, but I recall the boarding and seizing of a DPRK shipment of weapons. Or maybe it is specific to the DPRK? Not sure. I just remember reading about it.

I think the Spanish boarded for us, it was questioned. I looked and there's an odd claim that they took their flag down and so were not sailing under any country. Odd.

As another poster mentioned, there was also the Cuban Missile Crisis. Though the laws may have changed in the 60+ years since.

I think that was covered by treaty, the OAS (Organization of American States) approved it, but in the middle of the showdown. So we backed into being legal, but probably had the tacit agreement of other nations. No one wanted nukes there and we agreed to dismantle our nukes in Turkey (on the QT).
