Tehran is the capital of Iran, with a population of about 7,153,309. It uses the Iran Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Tehran).
Tehran does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+3:30 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Note that Tehran uses a non-whole-hour offset: local time differs from UTC by 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Other cities on the same clock include Mashhad.
Because Tehran lies at 35.69° N, 51.42° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 35 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 44 min.
