The wife and daughter of Ali Daei, who has backed protesters, are taken off a flight out of Iran.
Iranian football legend Ali Daei says an international flight has been rerouted to prevent his wife and daughter from leaving the country.
The latest protests were triggered by the death in custody of Iranian-Kurd Mahsa Amini, 22, in September. She had been held for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. Irna said their flight had landed at Kish Island and "Ali Daei's wife and daughter got off the plane".
