Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, delivered remarks at a CPAC gathering calling for a transformation of Iran’s political system and outlining a vision of a future aligned with Western nations and regional stability.
Addressing attendees, Pahlavi urged Americans to consider what Iran could become under different leadership, describing a country without nuclear threats, terrorism, or disruptions to global commerce.
“No more nuclear threats. No more terrorism. No more hostage taking. No more closing of the Strait of Hormuz. No more blackmailing fo the global community. Imagine an Iran that instead of exporting terrorism, is promoting freedom,” he said during his speech, according to video from the event.
He added that such a transformation would bring broader benefits beyond Iran’s borders. “Stability to its neighbors. National security and economic opportunity for the United States and the free world,” Pahlavi said.
Speaking to the audience, he framed the potential shift in cultural and political attitudes within Iran, asking, “Can you imagine Iranians going from ‘Death to America’ to ‘God Bless America’?” He answered his own question, stating, “I can because I’ve seen the true soul of my people.”
The remarks prompted chants of “USA” from attendees.
Pahlavi described a future in which Iran’s global contributions would shift toward technological and economic development. He said he envisions a country that “exports engineers, instead of extremists” and “startups instead of suicide bombers.”
He also linked his message to broader geopolitical change, stating that developments in Iran would have far-reaching effects across the Middle East.
“The Middle East will change when Iran is free,” he said.
Concluding his remarks, Pahlavi referenced President Donald Trump’s political slogan, stating, “President Trump is making America great again. I intend to make Iran great again.”
