According to citizen reports to Independent Persian, agents of the Islamic Republic have recently raided homes to collect satellite dishes. These actions, according to these sources, have taken place alongside widespread internet outages and intensified communication restrictions, with the aim of preventing people from accessing news and images of the protests. Witnesses say that agents entered homes without providing a clear explanation and confiscated satellite reception equipment. Meanwhile, the Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has claimed in a report that the collection of satellite dishes in some areas of Tehran was 'probably' carried out by individuals who, according to this news agency, 'aim to discredit revolutionary institutions.'
