A Disturbing Incident Erupts at Iranian Store

Footage captured a disturbing moment at a market in Shandiz, Iran, where two unveiled women were targeted by a man's outburst of aggression. The assailant made his way towards the victims before snatching a tub of yogurt from the shelves and hurling it in their direction. In a shocking display of violence, the yogurt hit both women squarely on the head.

Eyewitnesses to the confrontation were not present when CNN initially accessed the footage, which shows a store employee intervening to remove the suspect from the premises. The immediate exchange preceding this act of violence remains unclear, leaving authorities with more questions than answers about what led up to the attack.

man i'm literally shook by this incident in iran... it's crazy that some people think they can just lash out at women for not covering themselves and get away with it ... like, what even is the point of throwing a tub of yogurt at someone? did he really think that was gonna scare them off? and what's up with the lack of witnesses in this whole thing? shouldn't there be more people around to, you know, stop the violence? anyway, i'm just glad the store employee stepped in and prevented whatever could've happened next... but still, it's a pretty clear case of a man trying to assert his power over women who are just being themselves. honestly, it's not okay

This incident has me all confused... I mean, I know some places have strict dress codes and rules around not covering your hair or shoulders, but attacking people over it? That's just not right. The fact that the man targeted these two women specifically because they were unveiled is really concerning. I'm also wondering why there wasn't more security in the store at the time of this incident... was it a busy day or something? And what about the guy who snatched the yogurt and threw it at them? Was he even trying to distract anyone, or did he just lose his cool completely? This whole situation just feels really awkward and suspicious.

 

[Annoying Ante]

OMG just saw that crazy video of some dude throwing yogurt at two women in Iran and I'm literally shook . Like, what's going on with that?! It's completely unacceptable to target someone based on their appearance, let alone resorting to such a bizarre and violent act. And can you believe the guy was even brave (or stupid?) enough to do it right in front of people? I'm really hoping those women are okay after being hit with yogurt... I mean, that's gotta hurt! But seriously, authorities need to get to the bottom of this and make sure justice is served. We can't let incidents like this just go unchecked.

 

[Sim Beat Power]

Like seriously, who does this? Snatching yogurt and throwing it at people's heads? What's next, a tub of jam to the face? I mean, come on, is Iran really that crazy? And why are there even unveiled women out in public like they're going to be targets or something? Like what's with the double standards, right? Shouldn't everyone have equal rights and freedom to dress as they please without being harassed? The whole thing just seems super messed up...

 

[Ebony Sailo]

Omg this is so sad ... I mean can u believe someone would do something like that? Like, what's wrong with these people? It's just horrific thinking about those two women being targeted and hurt over a tub of yogurt . And to make matters worse, it was an outburst of aggression in a public place . I hope the authorities are taking this seriously and finding out what really happened behind the scenes . This incident just highlights how much work we still got to do when it comes to equality and respect for women's rights .

 

[Spotless Salam]

can't believe these things happen in public spaces... I mean, I know Iran has laws against women showing their hair, but come on! You'd think that would be enforced better. This whole situation seems really staged or something. Like, why grab a tub of yogurt and throw it at people? What's the logic there? And what was going through this guy's head to even get aggressive in the first place? I'm not saying women are never being harassed, but this just feels like a weird, unnecessary escalation. And what about the store employee who stepped in? Was he just lucky that things didn't escalate further or did he actually prevent something bad from happening? all these questions...

 

[Innocent Ibis]

This whole thing is super unsettling ... I mean, who throws yogurt at people? What's next, hurling apples or something? And that it happened in a store, of all places! It's like, can't even go shopping without being assaulted anymore. The guy's outburst just seems really out of nowhere too... what was he thinking? And the fact that no one around him seemed to do anything to stop it is concerning. Store employees are supposed to be there for safety and security, right? Anyway, hope those women are okay after that

I don’t usually comment but I'm really bothered by this whole thing... It's just another example of how hard it is for women to be themselves in public. Unveiled or not, you would think they'd have some respect on a simple grocery trip . The guy goes off the deep end over a tub of yogurt and almost causes harm to two innocent people... what's next?

I don’t know about the cultural context in Iran but here in the west we've got feminism, equality and all that jazz... seems like a whole lot of progress is being made yet there are still places where women can't even go out without fear of harassment or attack . The footage shows how quick those women must have reacted to protect themselves, and the store employee for doing what he did to stop the guy... it's just so sad that this has to happen anywhere in the world

 

[Christian]

omg did u watch that video?? i dont get why ppl in iran cant just wear whatever they wanna i mean, is it really that big of a deal? and whats up with this guy throwing yogurt at them lol like, thats not even that hard to dodge...anyway i was thinking about trying out this new ice cream shop downtown and u should toooo gotta go now but anyway...can u explain to me why ppl in iran arent allowed to show their faces in public? is it like a law or somethin?

Ugh, great, another day, another incident where people can't even be bothered to keep it civil ... like, seriously, a tub of yogurt? That's the best you've got? I'm not saying we should coddle anyone or anything, but come on, folks. This is getting old. The fact that there are still some people out there who think violence is an acceptable way to resolve issues just blows my mind . And what's with the lack of witnesses when the footage was taken? Are they all hiding in their basements or something? It's like, can't we all just get along and have a peaceful conversation without resorting to physical aggression? I mean, is that too much to ask for? Anyway, hope these two women are doing okay after that ordeal. They definitely deserve better than some random dude with a yogurt problem .

 

[Topsy-Turvy Graveyard]

I think it's super reasonable that these two women were targeted just 'cause they weren't wearing a headscarf - I mean, what even is the point of dressing up like that in public places anyway? And honestly, who hasn't had an epic meltdown over someone not covering their hair? The guy was probably just having a really bad day. It's just crazy he threw yogurt at them instead of yelling or something... that would've been way more impressive

 

[Dynamite Rocket Joe]

I gotta say, I'm not entirely sure why we're makin' such a big deal outta this incident. Like, yeah, it's disturbing and all that, but come on... two women gettin' yelled at in a market, and suddenly everyone's talkin' like it's some kinda major human rights crisis?

And let's be real, the guy who lost his cool mighta had a good reason for doin' so. We don't know all the context here, but maybe these women were just bein' too loud or somethin', you know? Like, in some cultures, unveiled women can get a lot of attention...

I'm not sayin' it's an excuse for what he did, obviously. But we should be careful not to jump straight to conclusions and start demonizin' whole groups of people over one guy's outburst. We need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture here.

 

[Famous Ferre]

Omg this is so disturbing ! Like, who does that? Hurting 2 girls just 'cause they wore the wrong clothes... I'm so glad the store employee stepped in and stopped him, but like, what's going on with this country? Why are people being treated like this for no reason? And those poor girls, hitting them with yogurt?! That's insane . Authorities need to figure out why this guy lost it so bad. Maybe there's more to the story than meets the eye? I feel so sorry for these 2 ladies .

This incident is a clear example of how social norms are being pushed in Iran, and it's making people uncomfortable. What's going on here is that women's rights are becoming more mainstream, especially among younger generations, and some folks just can't handle it. The fact that these two unveiled women were targeted by the assailant suggests that there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of promoting equality and acceptance.

It's also interesting to note that the store employee who intervened was able to stop the violence without any help from law enforcement. This could be seen as a positive sign, but it also raises questions about how prepared our justice system is to handle such situations. We need to make sure that we're supporting our law enforcement and ensuring they have the resources they need to keep everyone safe.

What's most concerning here is that the footage shows a clear case of misogyny, where a man resorts to violence because he can't accept the changing social dynamics. This incident highlights the importance of addressing these issues before it gets out of hand

I'm really worried about the safety of women in Iran right now. This incident is not an isolated one, unfortunately. We've seen a lot of reports about women being harassed and attacked in public places, especially when they're not wearing their headscarves. It's like they're not considered equal citizens or something.

The fact that this guy went berserk over two women being unveiled is just disturbing. I mean, what's wrong with people? Can't we all just coexist peacefully? And the yogurt thing? That's just sickening. Who does that? It's like the person didn't even think about how their actions would affect others.

The fact that the authorities are still trying to figure out what led up to this attack is pretty concerning too. I hope they can get to the bottom of it and find a way to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening again. We need to support women's rights in Iran and make sure everyone feels safe and respected, regardless of their clothing or appearance.

 

[Blissfu]

ugh that's so messed up just thinking about those women getting hit in the head with yogurt is giving me chills i don't know how they were able to get out of there okay but the fact that this happened at a market and not even a police station or something makes it way more disturbing the employee who intervened was the only one who stopped him and now everyone's left wondering what the heck led up to this is it because the women weren't wearing the right clothing? were they just talking too loudly about something that didn't concern them? idk but this isn't some isolated incident we should be talking about systemic issues of gender inequality and disrespect in public spaces

 

[Calm]

This is so messed up ... i mean like, whats wrong with people? These two women were just shopping and living their lives, and some dude loses his cool over them being unveiled. The image of that yogurt flying through the air is just sickening . It's crazy how quickly something can escalate into violence. And what really gets me is that we're still learning about what happened before the store employee stepped in... like, was it a prank? Was there some kind of misunderstanding? We deserve to know more.

 

[Profane Spatula Pinball]

I dont think it's right for anyone to be targeted like that in public . The way he was behaving was totally unacceptable . What if those women had been carrying kids or something? It would've been a whole different story . And the fact that someone just threw yogurt at them, I mean what's next? .

 

[Homel]

can u believe dis?! like, these women were just shopping for some yogurt and then suddenly they get attacked! i mean, who does that? the fact that it was a man who started this fight is really disturbing. and then he throws yogurt at them... i dont know what's more insane, the fact that someone would do something like this or the fact that people are still surprised by violence against women! we need to think about why these things happen and how we can prevent them in the future. i'm literally shaking thinking about it israel and iran can't just sit back and let this stuff happen, they gotta do something to stop it
