Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, called on the American people to take a moment and reflect on what a free Iran would look like.

"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 at the conference.

"Stability to its neighbors. National security and economic opportunity for the United States and the free world," he added.

"Can you imagine Iranians going from 'Death to America' to 'God Bless America'?" he also said. "I can because I've seen the true soul of my people."

The crowd began chanting, "USA."

He said he can imagine an Iran that "exports engineers, instead of extremists" and "startups instead of suicide bombers."

He said the Middle East will change when Iran is free.

“President Trump is making America great again. I intend to make Iran great again," he said.
