Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last shah, said at the Munich Security Conference that his goal for Iranians is to elect a democratic government.

00:23Our whole point is that we don't have a choice but to fight.
00:52What can a rod do to avoid attack?
00:57Give us the deal that they should have given us the first time.
01:00If they give us the right deal, we won't do that.
01:03But, you know, historically they haven't done that.
01:06I will say they want to talk, but so far they do a lot of talking and no action.
01:11When are those talks, Mr. President? When are those talks?
01:13They've already started.
01:14Do you want regime change in Iran?
01:16Well, it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.
01:20For 47 years they've been talking and talking and talking.
01:23In the meantime, we've lost a lot of lives while they talk and legs blown off, arms blown off, faces
01:30blown off.
01:31It's been going on for a long time, so let's see what happens.
01:35In the meantime, we have tremendous power has arrived and additional power, as you know, and other carriers going out
01:43shortly.
01:44So we'll see how, if we could get it settled for once and for all, that would be good.
01:49What would you want to take over?
01:50What?
01:51Who would you want to take over?
01:52I don't want to talk about that.
01:53Mr. President, have you spoken to Secretary Duncan?
01:55The raid and nuclear sites have been totally obliterated.
01:59What's left to go after?
02:00Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there.
02:04That's really the least of the mission.
02:06If we do it, that would be the least of the mission.
02:08But we'd probably grab whatever's left.
02:12It has been obliterated, as you know.
02:14Would you accept anything less than zero nuclear enrichment?
02:18We don't want any enrichment.
02:20We don't want enrichment.
02:21Thank you very much, everybody.
02:25That has been my commitment.
02:26And the reason millions of people were chanting anyway on the streets.
02:31And we, in fact, were successful in pushing the regime back.
02:34Except for the regime acted the way it did.
02:38So what do we do now?
02:39Do we have a temporary retreat?
02:40We are.
02:41But people are continuing the struggle.
02:43They are continuing to chant slogans.
02:44You see an unprecedented solidarity of Iranians in the four corners of the world,
02:51demonstrating their support for them.
02:52Does liberty have a price?
02:54Of course it does.
02:55Are we prepared to die for this cause?
02:57Of course we are.
02:58Our whole point is that we don't have a choice but to fight.
03:02We don't have a choice but to liberate ourselves.
03:05When it comes to the name, that's the name that people chanted on the streets of Iran by the millions
03:09in 31 provinces of Iran in the four corners of Iran.
03:13They called my name.
03:14They asked me to come to their support.
03:17And I have.
03:18And I accepted the challenge of leading the transition.
03:22As far as the plan that we have, we have a plan before the regime's collapse, and particularly
03:27for the transition after this regime, which is very well documented and presented.
03:31From the first day I started, I considered my mission in life to bring the country to a point
03:36that we can have that final referendum and the people elect their first democratic government
03:40in the future.
03:41That, to me, is the finish line and mission accomplished in life.
03:44I don't have any personal ambition.
03:46I'm not seeking power.
03:48I don't want to have a crown on my head or a title.
03:50But I think that they should look at me as a bridge to that destination and not the destination
03:55itself.
