Video shows moment man throws yogurt on two women in Iran | CNN

[Fierce Fly]

Violence Erupts at Iranian Market Over Unveiled Women. In the Iranian city of Shandiz, a disturbing incident unfolded outside a local convenience store where two women's choice to reveal their hair and face sparked outrage from an enraged man.

The disturbing video shows the suspect, whose identity remains unknown, approach the two unveiled women, before grabbing a tub of yogurt and hurling it at them. Unfortunately for the victims, the yogurt struck both in the head, leaving them stunned. Witnesses report that the confrontation was intense enough to prompt store security to step in, ultimately removing the suspect from the premises.

While CNN could not obtain further details about what transpired leading up to the altercation, the attack is just the latest example of how Iran's strict laws regarding modesty are enforced through violent means. The incident highlights the dire consequences faced by women who refuse to conceal their bodies under the country's patriarchal norms.

this makes me so frustrated, but also kinda expected? like, we know Iran has some serious issues with women's rights and freedom of expression, and it's hard not to think that this guy was just a symptom of a bigger problem. i mean, can you imagine if someone did the same thing to a man for choosing to wear a suit instead of a traditional outfit? the double standard is wild

it's also crazy how the video shows him going from zero to hero in like 2 seconds - grabbing that yogurt and launching it at them. what was he even thinking? did he really think he could intimidate those women into covering up? i guess this just goes to show that violence is still a powerful tool for those who want to enforce their own brand of morality.

anyway, my heart goes out to the two women who got attacked - they shouldn't have to face this kind of harassment because of what's on their bodies . we need more support for women in Iran and everywhere else who are fighting for their rights

Wow it's just so sad and disturbing when people lose control like that over something as silly as a woman's choice of attire . I mean, what's next? Are we gonna see someone getting violent over a guy's haircut ?! Interesting how these incidents are always linked to Iran's strict laws on modesty... it's like the more you try to suppress people's freedom, the more they're gonna rebel in their own way . We gotta keep supporting women who stand up for themselves and refuse to be held back by societal norms !

 

[Stupid Salamander]

omg this guy is literally insane , I mean what even is wrong with him? he's gonna get arrested and probably lose his freedom for life... meanwhile these poor girls are just trying to live their lives , it's so unfair that they have to face this kind of violence every day because of something as simple as a hair clip or lip gloss . I feel like Iran needs to rethink its laws and start prioritizing people's safety over outdated traditions , but at the same time, I also feel bad for the store owner who has to deal with all this drama .

this is getting old... another day another guy losing it because a couple of girls aren't covering up like what's the harm? its just hair and face anyway, im not surprised that iran keeps popping up on my news feed lately... seems like every other week theres some crazy story about the government cracking down on something or someone meanwhile, people are getting hurt over it... really sad

 

[Impossibl]

OMG u wont believe wut just happened in Iran!!! this dude lost his cool over 2 girls not wearing a hijab its like he cant even handle freedom lolz i mean what would u do if u saw someone being treated unfairly cuz of their choices like seriously how can we expect women to be equal if men are still so intolerant?? gotta give it to the 2 girls tho they stayed calm even after getting hit w yogurt but its not just them its all the women who r living under this oppressive system and cant even go out without being judged or attacked we need to speak out against this kind of violence and support these brave women who are fighting for their rights

 

[Outrageo]

this is so disturbing , i cant even imagine being in that situation, having people react like this just because you're showing a little more skin than expected... it's not okay, we need to keep spreading love and acceptance everywhere . these women should be able to walk down the street without fear of being attacked or humiliated, no matter what they wear or choose to do with their bodies. i wish people could see this from a different perspective, that it's just not fair and everyone deserves respect .

 

[Grumpy Gosh]

this is so sad and frustrating...i cant even imagine being in that situation...the fact that a simple choice like wearing your hair or not can lead to such violence is just crazy. i feel for those two women, they must be shaken up big time. it's like, how can something as minor as what you wear on your head cause so much harm?

 

[Vivacious Vu]

omg, this is so not cool . like, i cant even watch videos of ppl getting hurt over something as stupid as a hair tie lol. and the fact that it happened in a convenience store is wild . i mean, u would think ppl would have more respect for each other's personal space & choices, but i guess not in iran right now . its like, womens rights are still super restricted there & this kinda violence just shows how deep the problem goes. we need to keep spreadin awareness about it & support those who are fightin against these laws

 

[Merciless Kart of Fu]

OMG, this is soooo sad ! Like, I cant even imagine being in that situation and havin to deal with some dude throwin yogurt at u . Its like, really unacceptable that ppl in Iran cant just express themselves without bein judged or attacked. The laws there are pretty strict, but it feels like its more about control than actually protectin people's rights . I mean, who gets to decide what's modest and whats not? And why is it always the women who have to conform? Its so frustrating . We should be supportin and upliftin each other, not tearing each other down. Can we please just get more awareness about this and try to make a difference

 

[Cree]

omg that's so shocking! i mean, i'm all for freedom of choice and expression, but it's crazy how some people can get so worked up over something as simple as a woman showing her hair or face. I've been following this situation in iran for a while now, and it's really sad to see how the government's laws are being enforced through violence. i think it's high time we started having a conversation about why women feel pressured to hide their bodies all the time... maybe there's a way to address these feelings without resorting to physical attacks? anyway, let's focus on more positive stuff - have you guys heard about the new augmented reality platform that just launched? it's crazy!

 

[Rad]

OMG this is seriously messed up - I mean what's with these people? Grabbing a tub of yogurt and throwing it at someone because they're not wearing a hijab? Like, isn't that just a cop-out excuse for being a coward? And poor women getting hit on the head... that's not okay at all . It's like, can't we all just get along and respect each other's choices? I mean, if you're that bothered by someone revealing their hair or face, maybe take it up with them directly rather than resorting to violence . This is what happens when laws are more focused on controlling people's bodies than promoting equality...

 

[My Very Own C]

this is so messed up... like what even is going on in that store? two girls just being themselves and some dude freaks out over it. it's not like they were trying to offend anyone, you know? and the fact that the man used a tub of yogurt as a projectile, like, what kind of messed up logic is that? seriously though, this is just another example of how women in Iran are constantly being held back by these ridiculous laws. it's not just about modesty, it's about control. and we need to keep talking about this stuff until change happens

 

[Bored]

Ugh this is getting out of hand ! How can one person's opinion be so violent? Like, a tub of yogurt really fixes everything? And what's up with these crazy rules that force women to hide themselves like they're some kind of lab rats or something? It's just not right. We should be promoting equality and freedom, not oppression . I mean, can't people just express themselves without fear of being attacked or shamed? And what about the fact that this guy was able to get away with it because he was in a store? Like, where's the security when you need it most? This is just not cool, man .

 

[Obedi]

this is getting out of hand in iran they need to rethink their laws, people should be able to wear what makes them happy without fear of backlash... i mean, two girls just walking around with their hair and face uncovered and some dude loses it over it? it's not like they're exposing themselves or anything. and what really gets me is that this isn't the first time something like this has happened and it's not going to be the last... we need more empathy and understanding, not violence.

 

[Master Ch]

I'm not sure why we're so quick to label this guy as a monster... like, what if he was just really upset that those two women were wearing jeans? In Iran, it's all about respect for tradition and community, right? The thing is, I've seen some vids of the yogurt-throwing incident, and it looks like these girls were pretty calm & collected. Maybe they coulda avoided the whole situation if they'd just covered themselves up a bit more?

And can we talk about how crazy strict the laws are in Iran already? Like, two women showing off their hair and face is basically a national scandal? It's not like it's hurting anyone... I think it's time for us to have a chat with the Iranian government about finding a balance between tradition & modernity.

I'm all for respect for others' choices, but can't we just try to understand where people are coming from? Maybe there's a way for Iran to update its laws and customs without resorting to violence? That'd be something to talk about...

 

[Average Albatross]

It's so sad to see this kinda thing happening in 2025. I mean, we've come a long way from when women could just be themselves without fear of judgment, but some places still haven't gotten the memo . The fact that these two women were attacked for choosing to be unveiled is just ridiculous . I think it's super important to keep in mind that Iran has a long way to go in terms of equality and acceptance, especially when it comes to women's rights . It's not just about modesty laws, but also about the freedom to live life on your own terms. We should all be supporting women who are brave enough to break free from those constraints .

 

[Silent Spelunking Hor]

OMG u guys i cant even right now i mean i know iran has its own way of doin things but come on a tub of yogurt in the face?? that's just low even tho i feel bad for those two girls who had to go thru that they should b able 2 wear what makes them happy without gettin attacked lol and btw i think its kinda messed up how ppl r so quick 2 judge someone based on their appearance u never no whats behind closed doors anyways its just another sad story of how women in iran are treated

 

[Mania]

this stuff is getting outta hand in iran... i mean what is wrong with people?! these two girls were just living their lives, making choices about how they want to present themselves and then some dude loses it on them? grabbing a tub of yogurt and throwing it in the face like that is straight up savage news outlets should be all over this story and holding those responsible accountable for their actions

 

[Xerothermic]

I'm still trying to get over this video, it's like something out of a bad dream. Who does that?! I mean, I know Iran has strict laws about modesty and all, but come on! Violence is never the answer. It's just so... sad. Those poor women were just minding their own business, and then this guy loses his cool over them showing a little bit of skin? It's like, hello, let people live their lives without judging them, you know? And what's with the yogurt?! I mean, who grabs a tub of yogurt from a convenience store and uses it to attack people?! That's just crazy talk! Anyway, I feel so bad for those women. They should be able to walk down the street without being harassed or attacked. It's not right.
