Violence Erupts at Iranian Market as Unveiled Women Targeted
A disturbing incident has emerged in the Iranian city of Shandiz, where two women who refused to wear a headscarf were attacked by an angry man wielding a tub of yogurt. The video footage shows the suspect, whose face has not been made public, approaching the women before grabbing the yogurt and hurling it at them, striking both on the head.
Eyewitnesses claim that the confrontation occurred in a store where the two women had chosen to be unveiled, sparking outrage among local residents who condemn such behavior. The video then appears to show a male staff member intervening, removing the suspect from the premises and ending the attack.
CNN was unable to verify the exact words or motivations behind the incident, but it is clear that the actions of the attacker were driven by anger towards the women's choice not to wear a headscarf. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran's strict dress codes and the consequences faced by those who dare to challenge them.

the fact that these women were targeted just for not wearing a headscarf is super concerning though, gotta stand up for freedom to wear whatever u want 
and btw who knew yogurt could be used as a projectile weapon? 
... I mean, I get that some people are gonna be upset about women showing their hair, but using a tub of yogurt as a weapon? That's just sick 
... like, what even is the logic behind that? And it's crazy to think that there are still people out there who feel so strongly about this stuff that they're willing to get violent about it 
.
.
. We need to find a way to have these conversations that don't involve hurting people... or using yogurt as a weapon 
. These attacks on unveiled women are just getting out of hand. It's like, they have a right to choose what they wear, ya know? Shouldn't we be promoting equality and freedom over some outdated dress code rules? The whole headscarf thing is just so... archaic 
. And then there's this guy wielding a tub of yogurt 
. What's the deal with people losing their cool over something as simple as clothes? We should be focusing on progress and understanding, not violence and intolerance 
.
And using yogurt as a weapon? That's just ridiculous 
The fact that this incident is happening in Iran (which has such a rich history and culture) just makes it all the more sad and disturbing 
.
. It's like, these two girls are just trying to live their lives, express themselves, and be happy, but they're met with such hatred and aggression. And it's not just the attack itself, it's the fact that people are still so quick to judge and condemn someone for choosing not to wear a headscarf. It's like, what even is the point of wearing something that covers your hair if you're not comfortable with it? 
We need to have more open and honest conversations about this stuff, rather than just pointing fingers and blaming individuals.
We need to be more empathetic and understanding towards others, even when we don't agree with their choices or actions.
the whole situation is super disturbing and it makes me think about how hard it must be for those who are already oppressed in Iran 
. And what really gets me is how the staff intervened so quickly to stop the attack. They're the real heroes here! 
at least the store staff stepped in and stopped it 
hopefully this won't spark more violence 
. I mean, I get that some people have strong feelings about headscarves, but this is just crazy! Can't we all just coexist?
