In a shocking scene captured on video, a man at a grocery store in Shandiz, Iran, targeted two women who were not wearing the traditional headscarf. The footage shows the man approaching the two women and then suddenly grabbing a container of yogurt from the shelf. In a disturbing display of aggression, he flung the yogurt at both women, striking them squarely on the head.
The video also captures the immediate aftermath, as a male store employee quickly intervenes to remove the suspect from the premises. Unfortunately, CNN was unable to verify what exactly was said before the confrontation took place, but the swift action of the staff member suggests that the situation had escalated rapidly.
The incident has raised concerns about the ongoing struggle for women's rights in Iran, where the mandatory wearing of a headscarf is still enforced in public places. The attack on the two women highlights the complexities and challenges faced by those who refuse to conform to these strict social norms.

like what even is wrong with some ppl?? grabbing yogurt at someone and flinging it is def not a solution to anything, its just a really mean way to try and intimidate them... i get that there are strict rules in Iran about the headscarf and all, but no one deserves to be treated like this. we gotta keep supporting women who are fighting for their rights and trying to break free from those norms 
i mean what's with the dude?! grabbing yogurt from the shelf and throwing it at people just cuz they're not wearing a headscarf? that's literally harassment in its worst form 
he should be ashamed of himself. and can u believe the staff member intervened so fast? i guess that's what we need more of, ppl standing up for those who are being bullied or discriminated against. anyway, let's hope these two women are okay after that ordeal 
its like, whats wrong w/ being a woman? dont they deserve 2 wear what makes em feel comfy & not be harassed 4 it? 
the fact that this guy went thru w/ that attack in public is just disturbing 
i get that Iran has strict rules but thats no excuse 4 someone 2 act out like that. its all about respect & empathy, ppl! 
we shud be supportin each other & standin up against hate speech & violence 
like what even is wrong with people?? can't they just chill and let ppl be themselves? I mean i know the headscarf thing is a big deal in iran but come on, it's not that deep... and hitting women over the head with yogurt? that's just sick 
. I feel so bad for those two women, they must've been shook up big time 
. we need to be more understanding and empathetic towards each other, you know? 
. I mean, what's with grabbing a container of yogurt out of nowhere? Like, what's even gonna happen from that? 
And then flinging it at two women who weren't even doing anything wrong... that's just straight-up harassment. Newsflash: if you're feeling aggressive, maybe take a deep breath and calm down instead of resorting to physical outbursts. And what's with the store employee not intervening earlier? Shouldn't they've been paying attention to this guy's behavior from the start 
Ugh, this guy's behavior is just so messed up 
. I mean, can you believe someone would do that to innocent women? Grabbin' a container of yogurt outta nowhere and flingin' it at 'em like they owed him some kinda debt or somethin'. It's just...wow. And the fact that the store employee stepped in so fast is like, super commendable, you know? But what's really gettin' me is thinkin' about those women, just goin' about their day, mindin' their own bizness, and then BAM! This random dude comes outta nowhere and tries to intimidate 'em. It's just...not right. 
And I feel for the women who are already strugglin' with these strict social norms in Iran. It's like, can't they just live their lives without bein' judged or harassed?
