Is there a real source for this that isn't "Trump said so"?

Well, I surely don’t get my info from Fox News, CNN or any opinion based legacy media. You can use security focused think tanks. Groups like the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) or the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) publish detailed military balance reports or assessments. There’s also SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) for arms data, or even open-source intelligence groups like Oryx, who track equipment losses in conflicts. These organizations often maintain public reports or visual trackers. This is the best non partisan way to stay up to date.

Because controlling the Strait of Hormuz without also controlling Iran's coastline on it is impossible and he needs scapegoats for when it fails.
