Clock changes in Iran.
Iran does not change its clocks for summer, so the time difference with countries that do shifts twice a year.
Countries in Europe and North America move their clocks in spring and autumn. Their difference from Tehran therefore changes by an hour twice a year, while the clock in Tehran stays where it is.
Iran keeps an offset of its own.
No other country runs on UTC+3:30, so the clock in Tehran matches nowhere else in the world. Every other country and its current time is on the countries page.
