Iran has sealed a jewellery shop and restaurant belonging to football legend Ali Daei, after he backed protesters' calls for strikes this week, local media reported. Ali Daei's 109 goals at international level were long unsurpassed until Cristiano Ronaldo overtook him.
ISNA news agency reported that the former player's shop and restaurant in Tehran had been ordered shut.

"Following the cooperation with anti-revolutionary groups in cyberspace to disrupt peace and business of the market, a judicial order was issued to seal Noor Jewellery Gallery," ISNA reported.
It said a restaurant linked to Ali Daei had also been ordered shut but gave no details about it. Last week Ali Daei said he had been targeted by threats after backing the protests triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini.
Mahsa Amini died in custody on September 16, three days after her arrest by the morality police for an alleged violation of the country's strict dress code for women. The protests have continued for almost three months.
