The incident took place when two women were waiting in line at a shop. A man then enters the shop and starts talking to the woman in rage. He starts raising objection to the women for not wearing hijab (headscraf), which is part of essential dress code in Iran.

In the video footage that is now gaining traction on social media, the man then picks up a container from a shelf inside the shop and pours the liquid, seemingly yoghurt, on&nbsp;the heads of the women. He repeatedly does this and then stands there staring at the women with anger.&nbsp;

At this point, the shopkeeper comes running and gives a tight push to the man on his chest flinging him out of the shop.&nbsp;From the video, it can be seen that many people were present inside the shop at the time of the episode.&nbsp;

WATCH | Man attacks two women with yoghurt for not wearing hijab in Iran, all three arrested

Iran is in the midst of implementing new methods to enforce the Hijab law, requiring women to dress modestly and wear headscarves in public places, which includes imposing a fine, denying employment and even barring&nbsp;those without a headscarf from leaving the country, said reports.

Earlier this year, the Islamic republic faced widespread protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in police custody following her arrest for alleged breach of the Islamic republic's dress code for women by the country’s morality police for ‘inappropriate’ attire.&nbsp;

“Observance of hijab is a legal issue and one of our religious values. Most of our women also observe this issue,” said Iran’s Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi to the Rouydad24 website, on Friday.

Reportedly, he was defending his decision after media reports alleged that Iranian police have resumed warning women over headscarves as many received a warning via SMS about removing their hijabs inside their car, in the past week or so.&nbsp;

A report by the Fars news agency, which is supposedly affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), citing an anonymous senior police officer source, told them that the new phase of a plan to enforce hijab has commenced across the country, which includes the warning SMS.&nbsp;

The development comes after a lawmaker in December reportedly said that the regime is making some decisions about the hijab rules and that the methods of enforcing them may change. “It is possible that women who do not observe hijab would be informed via SMS, asking them to respect the law,” said a report by Iran International citing the official.&nbsp;

It added, “After notifying them, we enter the warning stage... and last, the bank account of the person who unveiled may be blocked.” Additionally, a report by Reformist Shargh Daily, on Thursday (January 5) claimed that the new measures include banning those without headscarves from leaving the country, denying them access to public services, employment and even community services as well as imposing fines.&nbsp;

Iran finds new methods to enforce Hijab law, terms it part of religious values: Reports

The head of Iran’s morality police has reportedly been suspended following protests across Iran over the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was detained by the police after being accused of not wearing the hijab properly. Several Iranian news outlets reported that Col Ahmed Mirzaei, the head of the moral security police of Greater Tehran, had been suspended after the death of Mahsa Amini. However, Tehran police denied he had been suspended or fired.

A CT scan of Amini’s head showed a bone fracture, haemorrhage, and brain edema, seemingly confirming that a strike to the head killed her. If confirmed, the reports will prove to be a huge setback for the morality police and also the wider Tehran police force. Edited videos of her arrest and detention in a police centre were published earlier and were designed to show she died due to a heart condition or epilepsy.

President Ebrahim Raisi spoke to Amini’s family by phone on Sunday. “Your daughter is like my own daughter, and I feel that this incident happened to one of my loved ones. Please accept my condolences,” state media reported him as saying. Since his election last year, Raisi has tightened enforcement of the headscarf law.

Meanwhile, the Hengaw Human Rights Organisation said on Monday that five people were killed in Iran when security forces opened fire during protests over the incident. The official news agency IRNA said there were "limited" protests in a number of cities in seven provinces that were dispersed by police.

Holding the police responsible for the death of his daughter, Amini's father has repeatedly said she had no health problems.

Speaking at a press conference, the Greater Tehran police commander, Hossein Rahimi, said Amini was stopped by the morality police, known as “Gasht-e Ershad”, while walking in a park because her hijab was “inappropriate”. He claimed the police had not made mistakes and railed against the “cowardly accusations” being made against his force.
