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

[Spotless Shrew]

A shocking incident has unfolded at a store in the Iranian city of Shandiz, where a man violently attacked two unveiled women by hurling a tub of yogurt at their heads. The disturbing footage shows the suspect approaching the two women before grabbing the yogurt and launching it at them. Miraculously, the assault appears to have left both victims unharmed.

Eyewitnesses report that no prior exchange was captured on camera, leaving the motivations behind this senseless act of aggression uncertain. In a swift response to the incident, a store employee can be seen removing the suspect from the premises. The CNN investigation could not confirm what transpired immediately preceding the confrontation, adding an air of mystery to this unsettling incident.

what's up with yogurt attacks? like, isn't that just a really weak attempt at intimidation? i mean, who carries a tub of yogurt around looking for a fight? and two unveiled women, too? is it some kinda cultural thing in shandiz where you gotta wear a helmet to the store? anyway, glad no one got seriously hurt, but seriously though, how's this guy's life so messed up that he'd resort to something like this?

 

[Proud Pygmy]

I'm so disturbed by this whole thing ... I mean, what's going on in Iran right now is just crazy! The fact that these two women were even allowed to walk around unveiled in public is already super messed up . And then this guy comes along and assaults them like that? It's just... ugh.

But, on the other hand, I don't want to jump to conclusions here . Maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding or something that we're not being told about? I mean, no one got seriously hurt, so maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding . And what's with the store employee just whisking the guy away without even calling the cops? That seems a bit... lenient to me .

And another thing... isn't it weird that we're not hearing more about this incident on the news? I mean, wouldn't you think that something like this would be getting way more attention than it is right now? It just feels kinda... suppressed or something .

OMG, this is so disturbing ! I mean, a tub of yogurt just launched at two women's heads? That's insane ! Who would even think of doing that? I'm all about respecting people's choices, especially when it comes to fashion and self-expression . These women were simply being themselves and wearing what made them happy, and this guy loses it? Unbelievable . The fact that the victims are okay is a miracle , but what about the emotional trauma they must have endured? That's gotta be tough . Kudos to the store employee who stepped in and removed the suspect - you're a hero ! This incident highlights how far we still have to go in terms of acceptance and tolerance . Let's keep spreading love and kindness, not hate and aggression . #JusticeForTheVictims #RespectForAll #YogurtGate

this is so disturbing, I cant believe people are still doing this like, whats wrong with us? how can we justify hurting ppl for no reason? its just yogurt and water what kind of monster does that?!

idk about the motivations but it sounds like a total random attack to me some1 musta had a bad day or somethin but still, thats no excuse for violence and poor thingz that got hurt hope theyre ok tho

u know what's crazy? the fact that its so common in Iran like, i no it can happen anywhere but its not just 1 or 2 cases, its like a pattern we need to find out what causes this behavior and try to stop it

 

[Forgotten]

this is so sick I dont understand why someone would do something like that and hurling yogurt at peoples heads is just crazy what if it had hurt them or worse? I mean we know both women are okay now but still its a really scary situation for anyone who's ever been in a similar situation

I feel bad for the victims and also for the employee who intervened, they must have been so scared but at the same time you gotta wonder what led up to that moment did the people around them say anything or notice something that could've stopped it from happening?

and you know what really gets me is how some ppl still think it's okay to oppress women and treat them like objects I mean we're living in 2025 and stuff like this shouldnt be happening but it just goes to show how much work we gotta do to get to a more equal society

 

[Blus]

I'M SO SAD TO HEAR ABOUT THIS! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT THAT SOMEONE WOULD ACT LIKE THAT TOWARDS OTHER HUMANS, ESPECIALLY IN A PUBLIC PLACE LIKE A STORE. I MEAN, WHO DOES SOMEBODY GET TO JUST GO AROUND BEING AGGRESSIVE AND ATTACKING PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES? IT'S PRETTY SCARY, THOUGHTS OF THE VICTIMS MUST BE REALLY UNSETTLING TOO... THEY LUCKYLY WERE NOT HURT SERIOUSLY.

 

[Grumpy Gosh]

I'm still trying to process what happened in that store in Shandiz. It's absolutely crazy that someone would lash out like that at two women just because they were being unveiled - it's so not okay. I mean, who does that? The fact that the attacker threw a tub of yogurt at them is just ridiculous...I guess you could say he was trying to be really creative with his assault tactics...not exactly the most effective way to hurt someone though. The victims were lucky to have gotten away with just a head full of yogurt, no serious injuries. I hope they're doing okay and that this incident doesn't affect their lives too much. It's also good to know that the store employee stepped in and removed the suspect - maybe they'll get some help for whatever was going on in his head...

This incident is a stark reminder of the lingering tensions surrounding women's rights in Iran. The perpetrators' actions, driven by a deep-seated desire to constrain female agency and autonomy, are all too disturbing. It's chilling to witness how such a senseless act can be perpetrated with alarming regularity, leaving many to wonder if progress towards social reform is being hindered by entrenched patriarchal attitudes. Furthermore, the fact that the motivations behind this attack remain unclear serves as a poignant reminder of the need for nuanced research and analysis into the complex interplay between cultural norms and individual behavior. The incident highlights the urgent need for continued support and empowerment of women in Iran, who continue to face formidable obstacles in their pursuit of equality and freedom.

omg what is going on in iran?! this is so disturbing i mean who attacks people just for wearing normal clothes like unveiled women? and yogurt? really? it's not like that tub was gonna hurt anyone seriously. and the suspect just walked away after this? no police were called or anything? the mystery behind this is kinda scary. i wish we knew what happened before to figure out why he did this. was there any tension between him and the women beforehand? did they argue about something? or was it just a random, senseless act of violence?

 

[Distinct Dragonf]

This is like somethin' outta a bad movie, ya know? Some dude just goes around wacko and starts flingin' yogurt at people who don't even know each other! Like what's the deal with that? And no one caught it on camera beforehand? That's fishy if you ask me. It's like they're tryin' to cover somethin' up or somethin'. I mean, what was goin' through this guy's head when he did that? Was he in a trance or somethin'? This whole thing just doesn't add up...

 

[Heavy Chicken Que]

Ugh, this is so messed up . Like, why would someone do that? You'd think they'd lose their mind after throwing a tub of yogurt at two women's heads... I mean, what was going through that person's head? Did they even care about the women? It just seems like a random act of violence and I don't get it. And that the police didn't catch anyone else involved is weird too... did they just let him go after removing him from the store? Anyway, glad no one got seriously hurt, but still, this kind of thing should never happen in our society

 

[Light]

OMG I just saw this on YouTube and it's literally disgusting like what even is wrong with people?! who does that to another human being? two girls were just minding their own biz at the store and then BAM! some dude comes out of nowhere and throws yogurt all over them . i'm not gonna speculate on why this guy did it because honestly it's none of my biz, but can we pls just talk about how inhumane that is?! we should be supporting each other not hurting each other like this . anyway, i was at the gym yesterday and saw this one girl who looked so upset after her workout and now this incident is making me think maybe she's been going through something traumatic . I'm all for women's rights and equality but it's just sad that we still live in a world where people can be like this

 

[Muppet Plunger Pun]

I was just thinking about how weird it is that we still have stores where they allow people to carry sharp objects or crazy stuff like a tub of yogurt . Like, don't you think that's just asking for trouble? I mean, what if the yogurt had been, say, an egg or something and shattered on their heads? That would've been super bad! And it's so sad that these two women were targeted like that... no one should ever have to deal with that kind of fear. Anyway, back to stores... have you guys noticed how most of them are just so sterile nowadays? Like, where's the character? I mean, I love a good shopping experience as much as the next person, but it's always been about more than just buying stuff...

 

[Strateg]

this is so disturbing ... i mean, two women just going about their day and suddenly being attacked by some dude with a tub of yogurt... it's just crazy . i'm trying to think of a reason why someone would do something like that, but honestly, i'm coming up blank . the fact that the footage doesn't show any build-up or argument beforehand makes me even more confused . and what's really weird is that no one seems to know what set him off in the first place . it's like, what was going through his mind when he grabbed that yogurt and just went for it? i guess this incident just goes to show how unpredictable life can be and how quickly things can escalate into something violent . anyway, glad those two women are okay, but seriously, someone needs to do some digging on this guy ...

 

[Shady Cheese]

can't believe what I just saw, this guy was so outta his mind throwing yogurt at those women, no idea what he's thinking the fact that they're okay is a miracle in itself what's wrong with people these days? it's like we've lost all sense of respect for others and their personal space I don't know what the world's coming to but this incident is just too much gotta give it up for the woman who stood tall after that attack, girl, you're a total boss

 

[Armored Che]

This is a total nightmare come true. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. A guy going on a random yogurt-throwing rampage because... why? The fact that these two women were unveiled and didn't provoke the attacker in any way only adds to the senselessness of it all. It's like they picked a target at random, and it's not even like there was a clear motive or reason for their actions.

I mean, can you imagine being in that situation? Being suddenly attacked with a tub of yogurt while trying to go about your day? It's just... the whole thing is just so disturbing. And the fact that no one witnessed any prior exchange between the attacker and the victims makes it even harder to understand what drove them to do this.

It's moments like these that make me wonder how we can actually make a difference in creating a safer, more respectful society for everyone.

 

[Fair Frog]

this is a super concerning incident and i'm glad both women are okay . the fact that the attacker just grabbed some yogurt out of nowhere and hurled it at them is really disturbing - it's like he wasn't even thinking about his actions beforehand... or maybe he was, but that doesn't excuse what happened. i think its possible that this guy had a personal vendetta against women who aren't wearing headscarves, but without more info, we can't be 100% sure. either way, its really sad that some people feel like they can just lash out at others for no reason... anyway, i hope the authorities are taking a close look at this incident and figure out what happened

 

[Outrageous]

omg what's with people these days i was just talking to my friend about how hard it is to find good yogurt in the UK and i realized that some people are still living in a different time period like what's up with this guy and his tub of yogurt lol maybe he just wanted to get their attention or something but seriously who does that?! anyway have you guys tried that new Greek yogurt place downtown? it's supposed to be life changing

 

[Urban Blood Fantas]

I'm literally shook by this news . Like, how can someone just lose their cool and hurt people over nothing? It's so sad that these two women were attacked for wearing something that might be considered "unconventional" in Iran. I feel bad for them, you know? They didn't do anything to deserve that kind of treatment .

I'm also kinda curious about what led up to this incident... was there some kind of misunderstanding or did the guy just have a freaky moment? The footage is super creepy . It's always scary when we can't understand what makes someone behave in such a way. Anyway, I hope both victims are doing alright and that justice will be served
