A shocking moment captured on camera shows a man's violent outburst at a grocery store in Iran, where he hurled a tub of yogurt at two women who had chosen to defy the country's traditional dress code. The incident took place in Shandiz, a city in northeastern Iran, and was recorded by a bystander.
As the video reveals, the suspect approached the two women, both of whom were not wearing hijabs or other Islamic head coverings as is customary in Iran. In a shocking display of aggression, the man suddenly grabbed a tub of yogurt from the store shelf and hurled it at the women, hitting them on the head.
The staff member who witnessed the confrontation quickly intervened to apprehend the suspect, removing him from the premises before the camera continued to roll. Unfortunately, the exact words exchanged between the man and the two women are not clear from the footage, leaving many questions unanswered about what led up to this violent incident.
This disturbing incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Iran's strict social norms and the country's growing younger population who are increasingly pushing for greater freedoms and modernization. The fact that the two women were attacked in a public place, in broad daylight, underscores the fear and anxiety felt by many Iranian citizens when it comes to their right to express themselves freely.
As authorities investigate this incident, questions remain about what measures can be taken to prevent similar incidents of harassment and violence against those who choose not to conform to traditional dress codes.

isnt that weird how someone would do something so violent over dress code? I mean Im all for people being free to wear what they want but at the same time Im also like why did these two girls have to be in a situation where someone would attack them for it? and what about the guy who threw the yogurt? didnt he have a problem with something else too or was it just that one thing? 
and Im all for the younger generation trying to change things around here but sometimes it feels like theyre going too far 
anyway, its super sad that these women got hurt and the fact that they were attacked in broad daylight makes you feel all unsafe and stuff 
. and yeah, its crazy how some ppl can be so intolerant and hate it when ppl want to express themselves and not conform to what others think is right 
i dont know what the solution is but we gotta do somethin' to stop this harassment and violence 
This guy is totally psycho! I mean, who throws yogurt at people just because they're wearing the 'wrong' clothing? 
It's like, can't he see how hurtful that is? And what's with the lack of CCTV footage or witnesses who can give more context about what happened leading up to this outburst? 
... I mean, a tub of yogurt? Who does that? 
The fact that these two women were just minding their own business, wearing what they wanted, and the guy loses it and throws a container at them? It's crazy! 
And now, authorities are trying to figure out how to stop this kind of harassment and violence? That's a tough one... Maybe they should just make sure everyone knows what's expected, but also have consequences for those who don't respect others' choices 
and head trauma 
... it's like, the irony is so rich - a tub of yogurt, which is literally supposed to be a symbol of nourishment and self-care, gets used as a projectile to hurt others. It's a pretty wild commentary on our society's fixation on tradition and conformity.
... it's like he saw his own freedom slipping away or something. And now we're left wondering what triggered him - was it fear, intolerance, or just plain old-fashioned frustration? 
what's gonna happen to them now? authorities should really do somethin about this harassment tho, not just the gov't. we need more support 4 women who wanna express themselves w/o fear of viol 
u know whats wild is how this guy just loses it over a tub of yogurt lol but for real tho, its another example of how restrictive laws & social norms can drive ppl crazy 
, especially when they're already feeling suffocated by the rules. these 2 women were literally just trying to live their lives & express themselves in a way that felt authentic to them... and this guy's reaction is like, totally unacceptable 
I know Iran has strict laws, but come on! You'd think the yogurt would be the least of their worries when dealing with cultural differences. Anyway, it's clear that social norms and youth culture are at odds in Iran right now, kinda like my aunt and my cousin who still live together 
it's all so frustrating 
This guy loses his cool over a couple of women wearing the wrong clothes... like, what's the big deal? It's just a head covering, right? 
. And what's with the bystander who recorded the whole thing? Like, didn't they think that was a bad idea to start recording someone who's clearly getting angry? 
. And now we're left wondering what happened before this whole thing went down... so many questions! 
. i hope the authorities take this seriously and figure out a way to prevent something like this from happening again 
. btw, has anyone seen that new smart security camera that can detect aggression? might come in handy for places like grocery stores 
just saw that crazy video from Iran where a guy throws yogurt at 2 women for not wearing hijabs... like what is wrong with people? 
No problem! Just grab a tub of yogurt and go all out 
. Seriously though, this is just another example of how some folks can't handle the fact that not everyone shares their views
