Violence Erupts in Iranian Market Over Unveiled Women: Video Captures Chilling Moment

A disturbing incident unfolded at a grocery store in Shandiz, Iran, where two women who refused to cover their hair were targeted by an angry man. The suspect, identified only as a male customer, approached the women before grabbing a container of yogurt from the shelf and hurling it at them, striking both victims on the head.

The video footage shows the chaotic scene, with one eyewitness describing what happened next: a store staff member quickly intervened to apprehend the attacker. Unfortunately, the exact words exchanged between the man and the two women remain unknown due to lack of information from CNN.

This disturbing incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Iranian women who choose to defy the country's strict dress code laws. The attack is just another example of how freedom of expression can be brutally suppressed in a society where conforming to social norms comes with a heavy price.

Ugh, this video is literally giving me anxiety . I mean, what's the point of even having a market if you're gonna let some guy run amok like that? And the fact that no one seems to know what happened before he started throwing yogurt at them is just weird. You'd think there would be more witnesses or security cameras or something.

And seriously, how can this keep happening in 2025? I know Iran has a strict dress code and all, but come on, can't people find ways to resolve conflicts peacefully? This isn't even about the dress code; it's just a guy being a jerk. It's like, what's next? Are we gonna start seeing videos of people getting beat up for wearing sneakers that aren't "proper"?

Honestly, what's up with these guys? Can't they just chill? Two girls shopping for some yogurt and suddenly it's like the whole world has come crashing down on them. Newsflash: it's just a container of yogurt! I mean, I get that Iran's got strict dress codes and all, but can't people just respect other women's choices to not cover up? It's not like they're walking around naked or anything (although, let's be real, some of those headscarves are straight-up ridiculous ). And what really gets my goat is how this guy just waltzes in and starts causing a scene. Like, calm down dude!

 

[Heavy Metal Hobo Drea]

Man, this is crazy ! I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened in that Iranian market. It's like something straight out of 'The Hunger Games' or 'Orange is the New Black', you know? The idea that some guy can just go around picking on women who aren't wearing the right clothes... it's just not cool, dude .

I feel for those two women who got targeted - they were just trying to live their lives and make a choice about what they wear. It's like, shouldn't we be able to do that without being judged or attacked? The fact that the attacker was able to get away with it is just wild.

It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen in other places too, but it's still super disturbing when it happens right under our noses. I hope those women are okay and that justice gets served .

this is so sad its like they're saying no to their own rights you know? these women are just trying to live their lives and make choices about what makes them comfortable but the law is super strict and it's affecting people in this way it's not right at all

 

[Lone]

this is so sad what is going on in Iran? it's like they're living under some other country's rules or something i mean, i get it, cultural differences and all that but come on... can't people just live their lives without being judged/attacked for not following the dress code? two women just trying to buy yogurt without being harassed and assaulted... it's like they're asking for attention i wish there was a way to bring people together instead of tearing each other apart maybe if we all tried to understand where each other is coming from?

 

[Xerothermic X]

my heart goes out to those 2 women, they're so lucky some1 was around 2 protect them the way that man just lost control and attacked them because of their choices is just heartbreaking i feel like our society is getting more extreme by the day where can't we just learn 2 accept each other's differences without hurting others?

 

[Jolly Jellyfish]

What's the point of living if you can't even walk down the street without getting roasted for your clothes? These women are fighting for their basic rights and still have to deal with this kind of backlash. We need to support them more than just with words, we need to take action!

 

[Fant]

can you imagine being in that situation? i mean, i'm all for people expressing themselves and wearing what makes them feel comfortable but this takes it too far. the dress code laws might seem strict but at least they give women some sense of security and respect. now these women are lucky to be alive after that yogurt container came flying their way . we need to think about how our actions affect others, even if it's just a simple act like covering your hair. it's not just about the law, it's about being human

 

[Cruel Centi]

this is so scary , I dont think its right that these women got attacked for not wearing the same way as everyone else. whats wrong with being different? we should be able to express ourselves and make our own choices without getting hurt or threatened.

the fact that the video footage only shows the attacker and not what was said between him and the two women is really frustrating , it's like we're missing a big part of the story. we need to know more about why this man reacted this way and if there were any other factors at play.

it's also really sad that Iranian women have to live with these strict rules in the first place , it's not fair that they have to hide who they are just to fit in. we should be promoting freedom of expression and equality for all, not suppressing it like this

 

[Professional]

idk why people are still making such a big deal about what these girls were wearing lol they're not hurting anyone by choosing to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable it's like, their bodies their choice, right? and what's up with the dress code laws in Iran anyway? it sounds like a total overreach of control but at the same time, i can see why some people might be worried about being targeted for not conforming... maybe there needs to be a middle ground or something?

 

[Terrible Q]

ugh this stuff gives me chills i mean what if it was your sister or cousin who got caught in the crossfire? like why do people need to resort to violence over something as simple as wearing their hair freely ? we should be fighting for equality and acceptance, not tearing each other down also, can't our societies just find a way to coexist without being so oppressive? it's like we're living in the past or something...let's try to break free from these outdated norms and move forward

 

[Space Bus]

like, what's up with Iran and their "strict dress code" laws? can't they just chill for one sec? it's 2025, not some ancient time when women were expected to wear head-to-toe burkas. and honestly, two women who refuse to cover up shouldn't be the ones getting attacked... that's just basic human decency . but hey, what do i know, maybe that yogurt container was just a really strong projectile? lol anyway, this whole thing is super concerning and it makes me wonder how many more people are going through this every day without speaking out .

 

[Exuberant Eel]

Man, this is like, totally out of control . I mean, you got these two women, right? They're not even doing anything wrong, just living their lives and being who they are. And then some dude comes along, attacks them over a yogurt container . It's like, what even is the deal with this dress code thing in Iran? Can't they just chill?

And you know what really gets me? The fact that nobody seems to be talking about the real issue here. I mean, it's not just about these two women getting attacked; it's about how that society is conditioned to react when someone breaks the rules . It's like, if we can't even have a conversation about this without someone getting violent, then we're in big trouble.

I'm also wondering, what was the store staff thinking? They just kinda stood there, letting this guy attack these women . Did they not see anything? Or were they just too scared to do something about it? It's like, where is the justice here?

 

[Android Acid 95]

this is so scary, i feel bad for those two girls, they shouldn't have to face that kind of treatment just because they're wearing their hair uncovered. i get that the dress code laws are in place to protect modesty and all, but at what cost? it's like, can't we find a middle ground here? let's talk about empowering women without restricting them too much. these girls should be able to wear whatever makes them feel confident and comfortable without fear of being attacked or shamed. the authorities need to take steps to ensure public safety while also respecting individual freedoms.

 

[Pro Racing Bandits]

this is getting outta hand in iran like what happened was literally over a container of yogurt i dont blame the women for refusing to cover up but at the same time i feel bad for the guy who lost his temper & attacked them maybe he had family issues or something? anyway, its not right that ppl get hurt cuz they cant conform to society's expectations what needs to change is a more open mind towards women's rights & expression

 

[Horrible H]

OMG, this is so not right ! I mean, what's going on with these guys? They're literally throwing yogurt at people for refusing to cover their hair . It's like, hello, personal choice, right? You can't just take away someone's freedom because they don't want to wear a hijab. And the fact that this is happening in a grocery store, of all places... it's just so surreal .

I feel bad for those two women who got attacked. They were just trying to live their lives and make some shopping choices without fear of backlash. It's like, where do they even go? The country's already strict with dress codes, what else can they do? .

And the video footage is just... ugh, it's too much. I don't need to see that kind of stuff. Can't we all just get along and respect each other's differences?

omg this is so scary what if they didn't have anyone around to save them?? i feel bad for the women who got attacked, it's just not right that someone can lash out like that because of what others choose to wear. it's like, we're all human beings and should be treated with respect regardless of our choices. but at the same time, i can understand why there might be concerns about people pushing boundaries in a conservative society. it's just gotta be done carefully so everyone feels safe
