Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi says he wants to lead Iran in a transition to democracy

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled former crown prince of Iran, said in an interview with "60 Minutes" on Sunday that he wants to be a "transitional leader" in Iran -- not "the future king or future president."

"They trust me as a transitional leader, not as the future king or future president or future whatever. I'm totally focused on my mission in life, which is let me bring the country to a point that they can make that free choice. That would be enough for me having said mission accomplished," Pahlavi said.

He said that he imagines a future where Iran is at peace with Israel, saying, "The strategic importance of having a partnership with Israel is critical."

Pahlavi also said that the nation's nuclear program should be "totally dismantled."

Pahlavi's father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was the last shah of Iran. In 1979, he left Iran amid rising political tension. Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979, following the success of the Iranian Revolution.
