An obvious (but not necessarily correct) answer is that he wants to direct media attention away from the economy and the Epstein files. I'm not sure, of course, it might be that he likes flaunting his power (my impression is that his ego requires constant feeding).
I'm not the first person to notice, but the Trump administration seems to care a lot more about the treatment of protestors in Iran than the protestors here in the U.S.
In some ways, the rhetoric coming from the Trump administration is remarkably similar to the rhetoric from the government of Iran.
Blanche has been over the top:
>>>"Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting," Blanche posted on X. "Walz and Frey -- I'm focused on stopping YOU from your
terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise."<<< (emphasis added)
President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act as tensions intensify with Democratic politicians in Minnesota following another ICE shooting.

As has Kristi Noem*
>>>Within hours of the shooting, the
Department of Homeland Security and Noem
labeled Good's actions an "
act of domestic terrorism" before any investigation.<<< (emphasis added)
The president of Iran has also referred to terrorists:
>>>“They have trained some people inside and outside the country; they have bought in some
terrorists from outside,”<<< (emphasis added)
Iran's president accuses the US and Israel of fuelling unrest, urges public to prevent 'rioters' from wreaking havoc.

The chief justice of Iran has also been using the T word:
>>>Iran’s chief justice, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, said on Thursday that the prosecution of “rioters” would be carried out swiftly, according to the state broadcaster. He added that individuals linked to “foreign intelligence services and their handlers,” and those who directed “
rioters and terrorists” would be prioritized for prosecution and punishment.<<< (emphasis added)
Granted, the Trump administration hasn't killed 1,800 people here in the U.S., but some of the rhetoric is over the top.
*I find myself wondering when Kristi Nome's face is going to melt and fall off.

Yes, that was a nod of sorts to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
