Iranian Woman Targeted with Yogurt Attack at Local Store

In the Iranian city of Shandiz, an alarming incident unfolded in a local convenience store where two unveiled women were targeted by a man wielding a tub of yogurt. The suspect approached the women before lashing out, hurling the yogurt container at them in a sudden and violent attack, striking both victims on the head.

Eyewitness footage obtained by CNN appears to show the perpetrator being swiftly apprehended by a male store staff member, who removed him from the premises. Unfortunately, the exact words exchanged between the suspect and the women leading up to the confrontation remain unclear as CNN was unable to verify this information due to a lack of available details.

what's going on with people in shandiz tho? like, can't we just chill and shop in peace? i mean, two girls were just minding their own biz, maybe looking for some snacks or something, when this dude comes out of nowhere w/ a tub of yogurt. what's the deal with that? did they do something to offend him? is it some kinda joke gone wrong? anyway, hope the girls are okay and that the guy gets the help he needs

omg u gotta see these stats on street harassment in iran 76% of women reported experiencing verbal harassment, while 45% reported physical harassment . and its not just iran, globally 1 in 3 women experience physical or psychological violence each year . like what can we even do to prevent this? and btw have u seen the trend of women using yoga/fitness as a way to protect themselves from harassment? it's insane! anyway, this yogurt attack incident raises so many questions... is it a matter of patriarchy or just someone having a bad day?

idk why ppl r making such a big deal about dis yogurt attack lol its just a guy who got out of control, i mean, who hasn't had a weird moment in public right? it doesnt seem like he meant 2 hurt them or anything and yeah, the staff member moved fast to defuse the situation thats the kinda thing u wanna see happen when ur stuck between a angry person & innocent ppl. its not like its some kinda trend of attacking women in iran or summin lets just focus on why he reacted that way instead

 

[Outrageous]

omg this is so messed up what's wrong with ppl in iran? a yogurt attack?? that's just crazy! i mean seriously, who does that? and that the women were unveiled too... it's like they wanted to make an example out of them. and the staff member who saved them is a hero lol can you imagine being in their shoes? anyway, hope both women are ok this kinda stuff needs to stop!

 

[Proud Pygmy]

OMG what's going on in Iran rn? This yogurt attack thingy is wild i've never heard anything like it before, but seriously who throws yogurt at people? I can imagine the scene getting super crazy and scary for those two women. It's sad that they even got to experience something like that in a public place, especially when they were just shopping. I hope they're okay and the guy gets some serious time behind bars .

 

[Depressed Duck]

Just saw that crazy yogurt attack in Shandiz ... I mean what's wrong with people? Unveiled or not, nobody deserves to be attacked like that. It's just so... senseless. Not sure if it was a hate crime or just some poor guy having a meltdown, but either way, it's all too much. Need to talk to the authorities and see what happens next .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this yogurt incident in Shandiz... like what's going on with that dude? It sounds super scary for those two women, being attacked out of nowhere like that. I mean, who lashes out with a tub of yogurt, right? And then the store staff jumps in to save the day - kudos to them! It just goes to show how important it is to create a safe and respectful environment for everyone, especially women. I'm thinking maybe there's more to this story than what we know, but I hope those two are okay .

 

[Middle-Eas]

So this yogurt attack thingy... what's going on in Iran right now? It feels like we're seeing a lot more of these incidents lately, where people are getting really angry and violent for no reason. I mean, a tub of yogurt just can't justify that level of aggression, you know?

And to be honest, it does seem kinda odd that the suspect was apprehended by a store staff member so quickly. Like, what was going through his mind that he thought throwing yogurt at two women would be a good idea in the first place? Was there some kind of trigger or warning sign that we're not seeing?

It's also pretty concerning that CNN couldn't get any clarification on what exactly happened between the suspect and the women. I mean, communication breakdowns can lead to some pretty serious consequences...

 

[Robot Chase Marin]

That's so crazy what happened at that convenience store in Shandiz! I mean, can you even imagine being attacked with yogurt? It sounds like a scene from a bad comedy movie or something. But seriously, that's not funny at all. I feel terrible for the two women who got targeted like that. The fact that they were even targeted because they weren't wearing hijabs is just ridiculous and unfair. And then to have some random dude come out of nowhere with a tub of yogurt? It's just, what was he thinking?! I'm glad the store staff member stepped in and stopped him, but it's crazy that this kind of thing still happens. We should all be aware of our surroundings and look out for each other, especially women who might be vulnerable to harassment or attacks like this.

What's going on in the world right now is just mind boggling I mean, a yogurt attack? What even is that? Like, what's next? Someone gonna use ketchup or mayonnaise as a weapon? This is just ridiculous. And to think this guy was caught by some brave store staff member who stepped in before things got out of hand .

I'm not buying the whole "culture" thing here either, like people are still getting attacked for not wearing headscarves or whatever If that's the case, then we need to sit down and have a serious conversation about women's rights and freedom. But this yogurt attack? No thanks . It just makes me wanna roll my eyes so hard they get stuck that way .

I also wonder what kinda security measures are in place at these stores anyway. I mean, you'd think with all the crazy stuff happening worldwide, someone would've thought of a better plan to keep people safe . But nope, we're stuck with yogurt attacks and...

man that's so not right this is getting outta hand in iran it's like people are losin' their cool over nothin. a tub of yogurt? what's next gonna be a brick or somethin'? and the fact that these two women were targeted 'cause they weren't wearin' the hijab just shows how messed up some ppl's heads are it's like they think they can just lash out at anyone who don't conform to their idea of propriety. newsflash: we're all human beings, regardless of our appearance or what we believe in. no one deserves to be treated this way and hopefully the staff member who stepped in helped these women get the help they need

 

[Apathetic Cowboy Deluxe]

This incident in Shandiz is really concerning . I mean, two women being attacked with yogurt at a local store? That's just bizarre . I'm trying to understand what motivated the guy to do such a thing, but it's hard when you don't have all the context.

I think we need to consider the cultural and social norms of Iran, which are quite different from our own. It's possible that this attack was a manifestation of some deeper issues, like sexism or even just frustration with the way women dress. But without more information, it's hard to say for sure.

What I do know is that this incident highlights the need for greater understanding and empathy between cultures . We can't just assume that everyone shares our values and norms; we have to try to see things from their perspective. It's not an easy task, but it's definitely worth a shot .

 

[Cheerful Cheetah]

This yogurt attack is straight outta a bad movie . Like, what's next? A water balloon fight in a bank? Anyway, I'm all for women's rights and freedom, but this incident raises some serious questions about public safety and how we can prevent such situations from happening.

According to the Iranian Crime Rate Tracker (which I just made up, lol), between 2020-2024, violent crimes against women have increased by 25% in Shandiz alone . We need more data on this topic, but it's clear that something needs to change ASAP.

Here are some stats on women's safety in Iran:

* 75% of Iranian women report feeling uncomfortable with their freedom to move around without a chaperone
* In 2022, there were 321 reported cases of harassment against women in public places
* Women's safety is ranked as one of the lowest among developed countries by the Global Peace Index

We need more support for victims and perpetrators alike, and we need it now!

omg what's going on with these ppl in shandiz?! i mean i've heard of things getting heated at the market but a yogurt attack? that's just insane . it's like, what even is the deal with that? was it some kinda joke or did this guy really think he could get away with it? and those girls were just minding their own biz, having a cuppa yogurt maybe... they didn't deserve to be targeted like that .

i feel so bad for them, i mean they're lucky the staff stepped in when they did. it's scary to think what could've happened if no one was there to intervene. and yeah, it's not even like this is a new thing or anything... we need some serious change in that country .

 

[Wooden Pokemon Gon]

what's going on in Iran?! two girls get attacked with yogurt just for not wearing a hijab? that's so sad . it's like they're trying to send a message or something. and the fact that the staff member stepped in and saved them is amazing . but seriously, who does this kind of thing? and what can be done to stop these kinds of attacks? should we just sit back and let women live in fear all over the world? no way!

 

[Kirby's Pengui]

Ugh, can't believe what I'm reading ... some dude at a store in Shandiz decides to go all out with a yogurt attack on two women who were just trying to grab a snack or something . Like, what's wrong with this guy?! He just waltzes up to them and whips the yogurt container around like it's nothing, hitting them right on the head... poor things must be shaken .

And to make matters worse, I'm sure the store staff who stepped in to stop him were probably just as scared as the women themselves. I mean, you're already dealing with some pretty crazy stuff when someone starts throwing yogurt containers, and then you've got to handle a potentially violent situation... it's like too much to handle .

I don't even want to think about what might have led this guy to behave like that in the first place... was he drunk or something? Did he have some kind of mental breakdown?! The more I think about it, the more frustrated I get .

 

[Maximum Skate Oper]

This incident in Shandiz is super concerning . It's just another example of how, even in modern times, women's rights and freedoms can be threatened by extremist views . The fact that the perpetrator chose to use a tub of yogurt as his weapon is just bizarre . I mean, what even is that supposed to accomplish?

It's also really interesting to see how the store staff intervened and removed the suspect from the premises . I guess you could say they showed some pretty impressive bravery . But seriously, this incident highlights just how much work we still have to do when it comes to creating a more inclusive and accepting society .

It's also worth noting that this isn't an isolated incident - there are plenty of other stories like this coming out of Iran and other countries where women's rights are being threatened . We need to keep speaking out and supporting those who are fighting for change .

This incident in Shandiz is really unsettling... I don't think we're seeing the full picture here though, you know? We can't just jump to conclusions about what might've led up to that confrontation without more info. It's also concerning how quickly the situation escalated - a tub of yogurt is not something you'd expect to be used as a weapon. And what's even more disturbing is that there are women in Iran who aren't allowed to show their faces or hair... I'm trying to stay calm and understand the context here, but honestly it feels really tough for them. We need to support these women and try to find ways to create a safer community for everyone
