Iranian Woman Attacked with Yogurt at Local Store

A shocking incident of misogyny has unfolded in Iran, leaving two women shaken and bruised. The disturbing video footage, captured at a market in Shandiz, shows a man deliberately approaching two unveiled women who were shopping alone. In an act of blatant aggression, the man snatches a container of yogurt from the store shelf and launches it towards the pair, striking both on the head.

Eyewitnesses report that immediately prior to this outburst, no verbal warnings or threats were issued, but this cruel display highlights the deep-seated misogyny prevalent in Iranian society. The male staff member who intervened by removing the suspect from the premises remains unnamed. Despite further investigation, CNN was unable to verify the specific words exchanged between the man and the two women prior to his outburst.

This is just another example of how far Iranian society still has to go in terms of equality & respect for all citizens, regardless of their dress or behavior. I mean, who throws yogurt at people? What's next, going to be a bunch of guys throwing eggs or something crazy like that? It's not about the yoga, it's about the entitlement & misogyny. And what really gets me is that no one's been held accountable yet, so this kind of behavior just keeps on happening.

Ugh what's wrong with these ppl?! Like can't they just chill and let ppl live their lives? I mean, who does this? Attacking someone over yogurt is just ridiculous! And unveiled, like what's the big deal? Can't he just let them shop in peace? It's not like they're doing anything wrong. This is just a reflection of how messed up Iranian society is and it makes me so angry I don't get why this keeps happening everywhere. What can be done to stop this kind of hate?!

honestly can't believe this is still happening in 2025, like what's wrong with some people?! it's not even about the yogurt, it's about how this guy completely lost control and targeted these two women just because they were wearing their hair uncovered. it's super sad that women have to deal with this kind of crap all over the world... like can't we all just get along? also feels bad for the staff member who had to intervene, hope he's okay too

 

[Heavy Metal Lacros]

This is just mind-blowing... I mean, can you even believe some people are this cruel? Like, what's wrong with them? The fact that they would go around attacking women for wearing something as innocent-looking as a scarf or not covering up their hair at all is just unbelievable. And now, someone gets to pay the price for being a victim of misogyny - literally attacked with yogurt... the stuff you put on your cereal

And what really gets me is that this kind of behavior isn't even isolated to Iran... sadly we've seen it happening in other countries too. It's like, where are we as a society? We're supposed to be moving forward, not backward when it comes to equality and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender or appearance.

I think the most surprising thing here is that the staff member who intervened actually helped remove the suspect - you'd think he would've called security right away. But maybe that's a good sign? Maybe Iran is slowly changing, like in tiny little ways... I don't know if I'm feeling optimistic about it or not.

 

[Depressed Duck]

just saw this news and it's absolutely vile I mean what is wrong with some people? attacking women like that is never okay and it's crazy how common misogyny seems to be in Iran right now it's like they're still living in the dark ages or something I feel so bad for those two girls who had to go through that . and can we talk about how easy it was for the store staff to just step in and defuse the situation? why did he even have to get involved?

 

[Xerothermic]

OMG that's so messed up ! I mean like what is wrong with some ppl? A woman gets attacked with yogurt at a store? That's not just harassment, it's assault and it's totally unacceptable . And the fact that these women were shopping alone makes it even more scary and vulnerable for them to be in that situation.

I'm not surprised though, sadly Iran has been dealing with this kind of sexist and misogynistic behavior for a while now . It's like they're saying "no" to basic human rights and dignity for women. But I gotta say, the yogurt attack is just... wow ! Can you imagine having that happen to you?

I think we need more awareness about this kind of issue and how it affects women in Iran. We should be supporting them in their struggles and raising voices against such atrocities .

 

[Obnoxious Os]

seriously though, this is so concerning - I mean, a yogurt attack? that's just insane . It's unacceptable that someone would resort to violence like this, especially in public. I'm not surprised it happened in Iran, sadly, misogyny runs deep there and it's an ongoing issue.

I do wonder if the CCTV footage caught everything, but even without it, the story sounds pretty clear-cut. The fact that no one warned these women beforehand just adds to the shock value - you'd think someone would've said something by the looks on their faces .

Needless to say, I'm all for supporting the two women who got attacked - hopefully they're doing okay and getting the support they need . As for the man who threw the yogurt... well, he's definitely going to have some explaining to do .

 

[Happy Hare]

Can't believe this still happens anywhere . A simple yogurt can't even be bought in peace? It's like the whole world has forgotten that being a woman is not a reason for someone to lose their cool . And let me guess, the guy who did this got away with it because of the culture of silence and respect for authority in Iran . Something needs to change, and fast . We need to hold men accountable for their actions, not just turn a blind eye when they're out of control .

 

[Grumpy]

omg, this is soooo disturbing ! how can some1 be so cruel & misogynistic? like, what's wrong with people these days... it's 2025, we should b all about equality & respect for each other! and honestly, a yogurt attack? that's just insane . can u imagine if someone did that to u? the fear & pain u'd be in would be so real . i feel so bad for those 2 women who got attacked . we need more ppl like the staff member who intervened, who can stand up against hate & support each other . anywayz, this incident is a total reminder that we still got a looong way to go in making our world a better, safer place .

 

[Supre]

this is so messed up i mean what kinda guy throws yogurt at ppl just cuz they're not wearing a headscarf or whatever it's like come on be more constructive with ur frustrations lol and btw have u seen how easily staff can just step in without any problems? where was the police around?! that part is really puzzling me. anyway, this incident highlights the ugly side of Iranian society i feel bad for those 2 women who got hurt. maybe its time we talk more about feminism & equality in Iran instead of just pointing fingers
