You can read Donald Trump's speech at the press conference here. The text is empty without any images that load quickly:

The continuation of this post includes excerpts from the content of the above link:
Their missile capability has reached about 10 percent, maybe even less. ... So far, we have hit over 5,000 targets; ... Some of the most important targets have been left for later, if necessary, because if we hit them, their reconstruction will take many years.

These targets relate to electricity production and many other things. Therefore, if we don't have to, we don't want to hit them. But these are the kind of targets that are very easy to hit, but if they are targeted, it will cause a lot of destruction. We are waiting to see what happens and then decide about hitting them. We can destroy all of them in one day, but overall, these attacks have caused a 90 percent decline in various areas.
....
Moreover, we have eliminated their leadership twice, maybe three times, and as you know, we want to play a role in this matter.
...
We don't want another president to come in who might not be willing to do what I am willing to do for the good of the world and the good of our country, and then face the same situation five or ten years later. So we think we need to put someone in the presidency or at the head of the country who can carry out something peacefully this time.
...
To Mr. Witkoff, who is standing right here next to me, they said they essentially want to continue building; in simpler terms, they want to continue building nuclear weapons if we didn't implement the "Midnight Hammer."
...
They never negotiated in good faith. They kept saying they wanted to build a nuclear program, they wanted to enrich at levels that were unacceptable. They even rejected an offer for unlimited and free nuclear fuel forever and only for peaceful purposes. There were people who offered them free nuclear fuel. They had no interest in that because they wanted to build nuclear weapons.
...
They attacked their neighbors while their neighbors were mostly neutral or at least were not supposed to get involved... When I first heard this, I said no, someone must have made a mistake — but there was no mistake. The UAE saw over a thousand missiles fired at it and almost all of them were intercepted. The very first day I came down the escalator in 2015, I said: "I will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons." And now I am just fulfilling my promise.

Think about it. I made that statement in 2015. There was a threat then, and now the threat has become much larger, but it is no longer a threat; at least not for long. We want it to stay that way. While we continue Operation "Epic Fury," we are also focused on maintaining the flow of energy and oil to the world, and I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and try to stop the supply of oil to the world.

And if Iran wants to do such a thing, it will face a much, much harder blow. I will target those easy targets I mentioned earlier; we will hit them so quickly that they will never be able to recover if they want to play such a game. They better not enter this game. In the long run, the supply of oil will be much safer without the threat of ships, drones, missiles, Iran's nuclear threat, and anything else.

Therefore, the Strait of Hormuz will remain safe. We have many ships from the Navy there. We have the best equipment in the world for inspecting mines. Again, I say, most of their ships are now at the bottom of the sea. But if necessary, we will hit them so hard that for them or anyone who helps them, there will be no possibility of recovering that part of the world.

==========
After these remarks, a Q&A session was held at the press conference where many important points were also raised. You can read the text in this other link:
