U.S. Central Command announced the engagement in a press call with reporters, saying Iran's military capability has been "dramatically degraded."
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said on the call that Iran historically has deployed "between 20 and 40 small boats" when harassing vessels in the strait.
"Today, we saw just six, and eliminated them quickly," Cooper said.
"We have an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the Strait, including 864 Apache and MH 60 Seahawk helicopters used just this morning to eliminate six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping," he added.
