The United States intelligence services and military worked with Israel to track the Iranian ship carrying missiles to Gaza, which was apprehended Wednesday, according to AFP.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Washington started to work with Israel through intelligence and military channels and at the national security advisor level as soon as it knew the shipment was on the move.
President Barack Obama also directed the US military to work out contingencies in case it became necessary to intercept the vessel, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One.
"Throughout this time our intelligence and military activities were closely coordinated with our Israeli counterparts who ultimately chose to take the lead in interdicting this shipment of illicit arms," Carney said.
"We will continue to stand up to Iran's support for destabilizing activities in the region in coordination with our partners and allies," he said. "These illicit acts are unacceptable to the international community and in gross violation of Iran's Security Council obligations."

The list, Ping

Must have pissed off Obama when he heard this was going down.
This administration just CANNOT keep it’s mouth
shut. This release is as political as hell, just
to bolster Obama’s sinking image.
Wonder if carney is playing a carney while barking me too found the ship with missiles, for obama to run a valerie ruse?
Bingo. Obama claiming credit again just like the “leak” that the US played a major role in apprehending the Mexican drug lord.
Notice the Press Release from Isreal. Not one word about US involvement.
It tells me, They informed Nero when he was in town Yesterday. Most likely as or right after the raid took place.
LOLOLOLOL.
I think I’ll give FULL CREDIT to Israel.
Exactly.
Criminally irresponsible.
come on Iran , take the the first shot
Ah - didn’t notice that Israel had a press release.....
Ah, the Minister of Truth says so.
“This administration just CANNOT keep it’s mouth
shut. This release is as political as hell, just
to bolster Obama’s sinking image.”
Was thinking the same thing. These guys are such idiots.
If only to expose the intelligence that allowed for the capture, so our enemies know it too.
Yeah, the raid's over and it was a success, time for the White Hut to say to hell with security and grab the credit for the great job the Israelis did.
A competent statesman knows how to STFU when methods are effective in combatting your enemies.
Me too! Me too! Me too!
Apparently nobody ever told Zer0 about “Loose (purple) Lips!”
Well, time for Iran to arrest and execute some Israeli “spies”.
Depressingly probably prediction.
