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

[WWII]

A shocking video has surfaced in Iran, showing the disturbing moment a man attacked two unveiled women at a local market in Shandiz. The footage captures a distraught scene where an individual, later identified as the perpetrator, approached the unsuspecting women and grabbed a tub of yogurt from the store shelves before hurling it towards them. The forceful act resulted in both women suffering head injuries.

Eyewitnesses reported that immediately prior to the confrontation, CNN was unable to verify what exactly sparked the altercation. However, the video clearly shows the chaotic aftermath as the perpetrator is quickly apprehended by a male staff member. The incident has raised concerns about the treatment of unveiled women in Iranian society and the increasing tensions surrounding modesty laws in the country.

I think this whole thing is blown outta proportion, fam . I mean, sure, what the dude did was messed up, but we gotta consider the context here . We don't know exactly what triggered that reaction, but it's not like the women were, like, begging to be hit or anything . And honestly, I think the whole modesty laws thing is a bit... oversimplified . It's not just about these two girls being unveiled and causing trouble; it's about the deeper cultural stuff that's at play here . We need to have a more nuanced convo about what's going on in Iran and how we can support people's rights without, you know, demonizing an entire culture . Can't just keep throwing yogurt at people and expecting them to magically change their minds .

omg this is soooo concerning like how can someone just attack ppl for wearing what they want to wear? i was watching this news clip in class yesterday and it's still stuck in my head i mean, i get that some ppl might think it's weird or against tradition but violence is never the answer. did u know that Iran has laws about covering ur hair and neck now? it's kinda sad like how can society not accept people for who they are? anywayz, it makes me glad that there were staff members around to stop the guy ASAP

omg this is so disturbing i cant believe whats happening to these women in iran it's like they're being treated like second class citizens just because they chose to be independent and express themselves. how can someone do that to another human being? head injuries are no joke, i'm sending all my positive vibes to those two ladies who got attacked

and what really gets me is the fact that this incident has sparked so much controversy around modesty laws in iran. like, cant we just have some respect for individuality and freedom of choice? every woman should be able to walk down the street without being judged or harassed, you know? we need more people speaking out against these injustices, not less

I'm still trying to process what I just saw. This is just heartbreaking - these two women, just going about their day, minding their own business, and suddenly they're being attacked like that. It's shocking how someone can behave so cruelly towards others. And to think it was all over a tub of yogurt... it's just ridiculous. I feel for the victims, they must be really shaken up by this experience.

I've been following the news on Iran and its laws regarding modesty, but I never thought it would come to something like this. It's not right that women have to live in fear of being attacked because of how they choose to dress. We should all be standing together against this kind of injustice. I just hope the perpetrator is brought to justice and that these two women get the help they need.

still can't believe what's been happening in Iran, like, those girls could've died from that thrown yogurt lol. So not cool how they just stood there getting attacked while no one else did anything to help. I feel for them, you know? And now people are all worried about modesty laws and stuff, but like, isn't it time we focus on actual human rights instead of what's considered "modest"?

OMG, you guys , this is like, super messed up!!! I mean, who throws yogurt at people? That's like, not even a real crime, you know? It's just some dude trying to get attention or something... but the fact that he targeted two women who were wearing their hair loose (unveiled) in public is like, so concerning. I'm guessing this has got nothing to do with modesty laws and everything to do with people who are still super intolerant and judgmental about women's choices. And what really gets me is that CNN can't even verify what sparked the incident? Like, isn't it their job to get to the bottom of things? This whole thing feels like a setup or something... I need more info before I start spouting my theories

Ugh, this is just so messed up I mean, what's going on with Iran right now? First, it's like they're trying to stifle women's rights even further and then these incidents happen... it's just not fair . And a tub of yogurt, of all things! Like, what's the deal with that . I feel for those two women, suffering head injuries... that's not okay at all . I hope they're doing okay. And can we talk about how quickly this guy got caught? It seems like he was held accountable pretty fast . I guess it's good to see some kind of justice being served, but the bigger picture is what concerns me... the way women are treated in Iranian society... it's just not right .

omg I'm literally shook by this news ... like, who does something so violent over yogurt?! it's just not right. those girls must be traumatized for life. and what's even crazier is that no one was really sure why the guy snapped... was he being harassed or did the women do something to upset him? idk, but this whole situation is super messed up . I'm all for a girl's right to wear whatever makes her happy, but at the same time, some people are just too far gone . anyway, hope those two girls recover from their head injuries and get the help they need

 

[Arr]

omg this is so worrying i cant even imagine being in that situation, like, what if it was u? thats not cool at all, ppl r really gotta learn to respect others views & choices. 2 women got hurt over something as trivial as a tub of yogurt? like, what s the big deal? i wish ppl could just chill out & think about how their actions affect others. and its not just these 2 women, theres heaps of ppl in Iran who r getting bullied & judged for being unveiled all the time i hope they r ok tho

I mean, come on! The use of "unveiled" is so outdated. Can't we just say "naked" or "not wearing a hijab" instead? It's like we're still living in the 90s!

And what's with this guy grabbing a tub of yogurt and throwing it at these women? Is he trying to be funny or something? Newsflash: it's not funny, dude. The fact that he's attacking these women just because they're not wearing a headscarf is just plain messed up.

I'm also super annoyed that CNN couldn't figure out what sparked the altercation beforehand. Can't we get some decent journalism around here? It's always about the reaction, never the cause. I mean, what would have happened if these women were wearing a hijab? Would they be safe now?
