The USS Hopper, seen in a file photo, was one of the ships harassed by Iranian boats, officials say.
(CNN) -- The U.S. military reported Monday on a "significant" confrontation involving five Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats, saying the vessels "harassed and provoked" three U.S. naval ships in international waters over the weekend.
U.S. military officials said the incident occurred early Sunday morning in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping channel leading in and out of the Persian Gulf.
The five Iranian ships made "threatening" moves toward the USS Hopper, the USS Port Royal and the USS Ingraham -- and in one case came within 200 yards of one of the vessels, the U.S. officials said.
