Exiled Iranian prince: This is the 'GAME CHANGER' we waited for

Welcome back with continuing live coverage of breaking news of the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran. Iranians took to the streets of Tehran and other cities across Iran in celebration, following news that longtime dictator Ali Khamenei was killed. Joining me now is His Royal Highness the exiled former Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi live from an undisclosed location this morning. Your Highness, thank you very much for being here. Wow. We are at this day, we have been together many times in the last several years talking about this. Your reaction to Khamenei dead and this U.S.-Israeli strike against Iran? Very good. There's no question that this is the game changer we've been waiting for all this time. The jubilation of Iranians at home and abroad shows how much people were hoping for this moment. And I join millions of Iranians thanking President Trump for taking this into action and delivering on his promise. We are so elated of the fact that now we have the beginning of the very end of the regime because at least we are going to see more and more decimation of this regime, which can only equal the playing field so that the Iranian people could come back to the streets and claim their country back from this hated regime. And that is exactly what President Trump has been telling and messaging to the Iranian people, take back your country. How can they do that, sir? Well, Maria, this is time now for a very strong, stable transition. I am leading this transition. I have the support of millions of Iranian people. I have the people inside the country that are joining and broadening the coalition of forces that will be at play in filling the boxes. The military will side with us, and we have a plan of action and a transition plan. As a matter of fact, I'm glad to hear what Senator Fetterman was saying, it's music to my ears. I always thought that this should be a bipartisan issue when it comes to America's national security interests as well as business opportunities in the future, because we as Iranians look at America as our best partner in reconstructing ourselves. You know, the president says MAGA. We say MIGA makes Iran great again, and in that sense I think that a different Iran that now will be at peace with the region, work with our neighbors, will bring an element of stability, will be good for American national security, but most importantly, an opportunity to be successful in terms of economic growth and what have you. Just by a change that we hope to bring to the table, that will be probably over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy just by Iran's market being open to America, and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran. All that was needed was for this regime to no longer be there, and I think that is something that should be important to America and Iran both. So where does this transition leave the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, where leadership there is still vowing revenge? How does this transitional government look when you have Persians, Shia, Sunni, secular government? What do you envision? Well, Maria, obviously I think this campaign is this time something not just to set back the Iranian nuclear program or anything like that. This is like full decapitation of the regime, and ultimately what will expedite is total collapse. The Iranian people have suffered too much to settle for anything less than that. But as soon as the transition plan is put into gear, we want to make sure that we address the issue immediately, to make sure that we have the ability to have a stable process, to obviously lead to ultimately a democratic outcome so the Iranian people get to choose their future government and system. What we need to do now is to make sure that we bring all the elements that can help that process into place. I was talking earlier today with Senator Lindsey Graham, who is a good friend of Iran. In fact, people now call him lovingly Uncle Lindsey for his position, and he talked to me earlier saying that he would like to try to organize a bipartisan group at Senate level for us to present that plan. Both the administration and Congress will understand better what we have in mind. I'll get more into the details. You and I have talked about the IPP project, Iran Prosperity Project, before, and the first 100 days are critically important of how we do that for the initial transition. I've been working with a number of Iranians from across the spectrum that are united on this purpose. We have the most diverse coalition of people dedicated to that process, representing different parts of the country, including religious minorities, ethnic groups that are all aligned in this national project that we have. So I feel extremely confident that we get this into place and make sure that we can fill the vacuum, and that unlike other scenarios that did not pan out so well—example, post-Saddam Hussein de-Baathification, the Iranian scenario is very different than that, is different than Venezuela—we do have an absolutely ironclad plan in mind. Of course, what's critical is the more this regime is totally weakened and it collapses, whatever remains behind is not part of the solution, and they are incorporated into our transition. The civilian bureaucracy, as well as the military and security forces. Okay. We will be watching all of that. And how long would you expect your transitional leadership to be? Well, Maria, I think that to be realistic, from the time that we start until the day we can have the final referendum, I anticipate a period that should not be longer than a couple of years at the most, but what's critical is the first 100 days to immediately stabilize the country, the Iranian economic situation, that the apparatus of governments remain as intact as possible so the functioning of the country continues to be in place while we bring all the components that make us bring the country to a position where we come out of it at the very end with the choice that people will have to make and will be proposed various plans in the Constitutional Assembly, which is the entity that will, of course, debate all these issues. Well, that would be an incredible day to see a free election in Iran once again. Reza Pahlavi, thank you, sir. Hey, everyone. I'm Emily Campagno.
