While the last 35 episodes of the Glass Triangle program was on the air, the program suddenly stopped broadcasting, at the same time the reason for this was considered to be the symbol of the Glass Triangle program and its resemblance to the symbol of the Freemasons.

After the victory of Hassan Rouhani, on April 30, 2014, Rashidpour officially entered the IRIB and started the sunglasses comedy program on IRIB Nasim. His return provoked reactions. In May 2014, the pro-government Kayhan newspaper wrote: The program "Sunglasses", which has been aired by a marginal presenter on IRIB Nasim since last week, has tried to promote the culture and character of millionaires in a thought-provoking move contrary to the custom of society!

Interview with Hassan Rouhani
Reza Rashidpour's interview with Hassan Rouhani in January 2018 was considered a deconstruction of television, given that the television gave most of the important and live interviews to presenters who had been performing political programs for years. This conversation was met with many positive and negative criticisms.
