Bearing in mind what was already on the ground at Diego Garcia, flying strategic bombers in just looks like a bit of highly visible willy-waving.
I suspect Trump is trying to signal to Iran that the ground rules have changed - they have tolerated a certain amount of harassment from the Iranians in the past but would like them to conclude that any future mischief (such as harassing shipping, for example) will not go without a robust response.
