Hasan Rouzeytalab, former deputy of IRIB, said that on 18 Dey 1404, 13 IRIB centers in the provinces were attacked. He added that one of the centers on Kish “was seized and fell,” and clashes also took place in other centers.

Rouzeytalab said that Ali Khamenei later considered the attack on IRIB centers as signs of a “coup.”
