But do they have right to deny the transit from international law perspective?

Fully deny? No.

But they can insist on daylight transit, with one ship at a time, can deny warships completely unless they're returning to base, and can impose an inspection regime. And as Russia has proven over the last month, rigorous inspection regimes of large ships can result in a 195-ship tailback.
