A shocking scene unfolded at a store in Shandiz, Iran, when a man hurled a tub of yogurt at two women, both of whom were unveiled. Eyewitnesses have shared a disturbing video that captures the moment of the incident. In it, the suspect approaches the women before snatching a container of yogurt from the shelf and flinging it towards them, causing them to dodge and duck for cover.
The attack appears to be specifically motivated by the women's decision not to wear the required headscarf. The video footage shows the staff member who intervened in the confrontation, carefully escorting the suspect out of the store as the women watch with shock and fear on their faces. Unfortunately, CNN has been unable to determine what words or phrases were exchanged between the suspect and the staff member prior to the incident.
This disturbing act serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran's strict dress code laws and social expectations around modesty for women.

a dude gets all worked up over a tub of yogurt and some ladies not wearing a scarf 
but can't handle the real issue - like, who's throwing the yogurt? 
OMG I'm literally shaking thinking about this 
. It's just so sad that something like this has to happen in our world. The fact that someone would lash out at two women for not wearing a headscarf is just mind-boggling 
. Like, what's the big deal? They're not hurting anyone! And can you imagine being in their shoes and having to dodge yogurt 
? 
It's not funny though, it's really scary.
.
. Maybe this will help bring attention to how unfair these laws are 
. We need more people standing up for women's rights and equality 
!
This yogurt incident in Shandiz, Iran is just another example of how societal norms can be used as a tool for oppression 
. I mean, who throws yogurt at people over not wearing a headscarf? It's like the guy was looking for an excuse to cause some chaos and take out his frustration on these two women. And what's with the dress code laws being so strict anyway? It feels like Iran is trying to control every aspect of their citizens' lives, including what they can and can't wear on their heads 
. Anyway, it's sad that there are still people who resort to violence over such a sensitive issue... 
I'm not buying this one... like, how does a store just let someone carry on with attacking two women over their clothing choices? What kind of store doesn't have some sort of security in place to prevent this kinda thing from happening? 
And what's with the "specifically motivated by the women's decision not to wear the required headscarf" angle? Is CNN just trying to spin this as some sort of 'modest dress' controversy or something? 
.
. It's crazy how something as simple as wearing a headscarf can be used to justify such a violent act 
. And those two women didn't even get hurt! That's a silver lining right there 
. We gotta keep spreading love and positivity in the face of hate like that 
. Can we hope for a brighter, more open-minded future? I'm trying to stay hopeful 
.

Just saw this video from Shandiz, Iran... it's wild 
. Meanwhile, a quick check on Twitter shows that 71% of tweets about this incident were using hashtags related to #WomenRights and #SocialJustice 
. On Reddit, the r/Iran thread is blowing up with concerns about the safety of unveiled women in public spaces... did you know that only 12% of Iranian men support the country's dress code laws? 
.
anyway, staff intervened and all but that just shows how far things have gone in iran... it's like they're living in a bubble where everyone else isn't even a consideration
