A University of Chicago professor, referring to the developments in the region, emphasized that the ceasefire in Lebanon represents a change in the balance of power and the emergence of the Islamic Republic of Iran as an influential power on the global stage.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: "Robert Pip," a professor at the University of Chicago, said that the ceasefire between the Zionist regime and Lebanon is more than just a cessation of conflict, it is a sign of a shift in power on the global stage.

The university professor added: Iran explicitly demanded an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and the United States provided exactly that.

Robert Pip stated: This is a great example of the New York Times' analysis of Iran's emergence as the fourth world power.
