MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: 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.
REZA PAHLAVI - FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: 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 in thanking President Trump for taking this into action and delivering on his promise.
And that is exactly what President Trump has been telling and messaging to the Iranian people: Take back your country.
MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: How can they do that, sir?
REZA PAHLAVI - FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: Well, Maria, this is the time now for a very strong, stable transition.
I am leading this transition. I have the support of millions of Iranian people. I have people inside the country who are joining and broadening the coalition of forces that will be at play in filling the vacuum.
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.
We, as Iranians, look at America as our best partner in reconstructing ourselves. You know, the president says MAGA - we say MIGA, Make Iran Great Again.
MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: 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 - a secular government?
What do you envision?
REZA PAHLAVI - FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: Well, Maria, obviously I think this campaign this time is not just to set back the Iranian nuclear program or anything like that.
This is full decapitation of the regime, and ultimately what will expedite its 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 these issues immediately - to make sure that we have the ability to have a stable process that leads ultimately to 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."
