A shocking scene has unfolded at a store in the Iranian city of Shandiz, where two unveiled women were targeted by a man with a disturbing display of aggression. The incident began when the attacker approached the two women, before suddenly snatching a tub of yogurt from the shelves and hurling it directly at them, striking both women on the head. Eyewitnesses describe the scene as chaotic, with a male staff member quickly intervening to apprehend the suspect. However, CNN was unable to determine what exactly had been said or exchanged prior to the confrontation. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions and struggles faced by Iranian women who choose to reject traditional modesty standards, often sparking outrage from conservative elements in the community.

omg this is wild!! i'm literally shaking thinking about those two women being attacked like that 
. i don't even know how they managed to stay calm under all that stress 
. and can you believe someone actually threw a tub of yogurt at them?! it's just...
. i guess it's no wonder why some people in Iran are super extra about the whole modesty thing, but it's not okay for anyone to be physically hurt over it 
. anywayz, this is defo making waves online right now 
and i need to see more about how the women are doing 
this is so disturbing I cant even imagine how scary that must have been for those two women 
, I mean you would think that a simple product wouldnt be used as a weapon like that 
, it's crazy that people are still so intolerant of other's choices regarding their own bodies 
, the fact that it took a staff member to intervene and even then someone couldnt know what was said beforehand is wild , can you imagine being in those shoes or feeling threatened by something as simple as yogurt? 
the whole thing is just super unsettling... i mean two girls are just minding their own biz, trying to grab a quick snack or something, and this guy comes out of nowhere, acting like a total psycho. and yeah, the fact that he throws yogurt at them - it's not even just an attack, it's also kinda... humiliating? i don't know how that's going to affect those girls, but it definitely is a really low blow.and what's wild is that the guy who intervened was able to stop him so quickly. like, you'd think the staff member would be traumatized or something after witnessing all that chaos, but nope, they just spring into action and grab the guy. it's actually kind of reassuring to see them standing up for those women.
anyway, this incident really does highlight how harsh things can get for Iranian women who don't conform to traditional standards. i mean, there are definitely risks involved in rejecting all that societal pressure, but at the same time, you'd think people would be more understanding and accepting? it's just... complex, i guess.
OMG, this is SO disturbing ! What kinda dude does that to two random women? Just 'cause they're wearing their hair down or whatever... I mean, I get it, Iranian culture has its own rules and stuff, but attacking them like that? It's just not cool. The fact that the staff member stepped in so fast is a good thing tho 
. We need to stand up for these women and support them if they wanna be whoever they wanna be. And yeah, it's sad that this still happens... we live in 2025, like!

OMG you guys I'm literally shaking just thinking about this ... like what's going on in Iran right now is just soooo messed up. These two women were just minding their own biz, shopping around, and then BAM! This psycho comes out of nowhere and starts throwing yogurt at them no seriously though it's not funny at all. I mean can you even imagine how scared those women must've been? They're already facing so much pressure from society for just being themselves, and then this happens... it's just heartbreaking . And the worst part is that nobody knows what sparked this whole thing, was it a misunderstanding or did someone really say something to offend these two girls? It's just so frustrating because we can't even be sure what happened. The staff member who intervened was super quick to step in though, kudos to him for saving those women from possibly something much worse 
. But seriously, Iran needs to do better for its women, they deserve so much respect and equality.

But seriously, Iran needs to do better for its women, they deserve so much respect and equality. this is getting out of hand - a tub of yogurt as a projectile , what's next? some dude gonna throw a shoe at someone for wearing shorts in the mall? it's like the whole world is watching these crazy scenes unfold and nobody's doing anything about it. Iranian women deserve respect, not this kind of violence. and honestly, who was that staff member supposed to be stopping with his feet on the ground? 
just can't believe this is still happening in 2025, two girls getting attacked just for being themselves it's like they forgot that we're living in a world where equality and freedom should be everyone's right 
especially in a country that's supposed to value education and progress. I mean, what's next? Attacking someone for wearing jeans or a t-shirt? 
the staff member who intervened was a hero, but this kind of thing is just unacceptable 
we need to keep speaking out against these outdated attitudes and support women who are brave enough to challenge them I'm so done with all the drama around these unveiled women in Iran . Like, can't they just live their lives without being judged or harassed? It's not like they're breaking any rules by wearing clothes that aren't a billion layers thick . I mean, I get it, traditional values and all that, but sometimes you gotta let people express themselves, right? And honestly, if the authorities are gonna crack down on these women, shouldn't they be focusing on the real issues, like maybe the guy who got all upset because someone threw a yogurt at him 
? It's just not fair to single out these women for being who they are.

and can you even imagine how scared those women must've been ? The fact that it happened in a store and not just on the streets makes it all the more disturbing 
. It's so frustrating that Iranian women still have to deal with this kind of harassment and aggression, especially from men who think they have the right to judge or attack them . I hope those two women are okay 
and that the staff member was able to stop the attacker quickly

I mean, I know Iran has some pretty strict laws when it comes to dress codes, but still, you'd think people would respect each other's personal space and choices, right? 
Those two women were just trying to live their lives, shop for some yogurt, maybe grab a coffee... why did this guy have to go all violent on them? 
And that staff member intervened so quickly, it's like he'd seen it before. Hopefully they're both okay, got some serious head injuries from that yogurt 
. It's always sad to see women being targeted for just trying to be themselves, you know?

It's always sad to see women being targeted for just trying to be themselves, you know? Just heard about this crazy yogurt-throwing incident at a store in Shandiz . Honestly can't believe some people's behavior - like what's wrong with just leaving them alone? The fact that these women were attacked because they chose to be unveiled is, like, so not cool 
. It's sad that Iranian women are still facing this kind of pressure to conform to traditional norms #JusticeForWomen #EmpowermentThroughSelfExpression. I hope the two women who were targeted get some support and healing after this traumatic experience 
. The fact that a staff member stepped in to intervene is also super commendable 
. We should all be supporting these women's rights to make their own choices, no matter how they choose to dress or present themselves #RespectForAll #ChooseYourOwnPath

We should all be supporting these women's rights to make their own choices, no matter how they choose to dress or present themselves #RespectForAll #ChooseYourOwnPath this is a really worrying sign for those girls. being targeted because of what they're wearing or how they present themselves is never okay. it's 2025 and we should be living in a world where everyone can express themselves freely without fear of harassment or violence . the fact that there are still people out there who get aggressive when someone doesn't conform to traditional norms is just heartbreaking 
. i think it's really brave of those girls to be themselves and not care what others might think. we should all be supporting them, not just in Iran but around the world . I'm really worried about those two women but I'm also kinda glad that a male staff member was there to step in ASAP ! It's crazy how a simple tub of yogurt can escalate into something so intense 
. I feel for the women who are already going through a lot just by wearing their hair uncovered or dressing freely . But at the same time, it's also super empowering that they're taking a stand and being themselves 
! We gotta keep spreading love and support to those who need it 
. Maybe this incident will spark some positive change? Can't we just focus on kindness and understanding instead of outrage? 
this whole thing is so crazy... like what's going on with these ppl? a guy just loses his cool over some girls showing their face in public... or rather not wearing a hijab, I guess . it's like they're living in a different world. and the yogurt thing, lol, that's just low. can't believe staff member was able to step in before things got worse tho . but seriously, how many times have we seen this play out? women trying to break free from societal expectations and people getting all worked up about it . maybe they should try living the life of being judged for every little thing they do... just saying . this is so messed up... like, what's the deal with people being all aggressive towards women just because they're not covering themselves? it's 2025, we should be way beyond that nonsense. and can you imagine how scary it must have been for those two women? they just went about their day, shopping, and then BAM! yogurt flies through the air, hitting them in the head... talk about a shock 
. i'm so glad there was some staff member around to step in and help. hopefully, this incident will make people think twice about how they treat others, especially women who are just trying to be themselves 
. this is getting outta hand... Iran's gotta make a move here, can't have people living in fear just 'cause they wanna wear what makes 'em happy 
. Those women didn't deserve to get hit with yogurt 
it's all about respect & understanding... maybe time for some cultural shifts? 
omg, this is so disturbing ! like, can't people just chill? i mean, what's wrong with a little yogurt? it's not even that expensive. but seriously, this kind of thing happens all too often in iran and it's just heartbreaking. those women were just minding their own business, maybe grabbing a snack or checking out some clothes, and then BAM! this guy comes out of nowhere and starts causing a scene. and then you got the staff intervening, which is awesome, but what about the girls who got hit? did they get okay? i feel so bad for them. it's like, we're all human beings, right? shouldn't we be able to coexist without all this drama?

This latest incident in Shandiz is a stark reminder of the intricate web of societal expectations that can lead to violent outbursts . The fact that two unveiled women were targeted for their perceived transgression against traditional norms speaks volumes about the entrenched conservatism in Iranian society. It's disconcerting to think that in 2025, women are still subjected to such patriarchal attitudes and aggression . The attacker's actions may have been a momentary lapse, but they also underscore the need for sustained efforts to promote inclusivity and understanding. While we can't know the full context of what transpired before the altercation, it's clear that Iranian society is grappling with the complexities of modernity and tradition 
. Perhaps it's time for a nuanced conversation about the boundaries between cultural heritage and personal freedom .
