About Iran Standard Time (IRST)
Iran Standard Time (IRST, IANA: Asia/Tehran) is the civil time of the Islamic Republic of Iran, set at UTC+3:30 — one of the world's few 30-minute-offset time zones. IRST observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to IRDT = UTC+4:30) from the last Wednesday of the Iranian month of Farvardin (~March 22) to the last Wednesday of Shahrivar (~September 22) per Iranian government calendar (the country abolished DST in 2022 then partially reinstated it for energy savings — the schedule is subject to change by Iranian Parliament Majlis decree). The 30-minute offset is preserved because Iran's central meridian is approximately 52.5°E, between UTC+3 and UTC+4 standard zones, and the Iranian Solar Hijri calendar has its own astronomical traditions for time-keeping. IRST serves approximately 88 million Iranian people across 31 provinces. Major cities: Tehran (8.7M city, 13M metro — capital), Mashhad (3.1M), Isfahan (2.2M), Karaj (1.6M), Shiraz (1.6M), Tabriz (1.6M), Qom (1.2M). Other 30/45-minute offset zones: India (UTC+5:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45), Myanmar (UTC+6:30), Newfoundland (UTC-3:30), Afghanistan (UTC+4:30), Marquesas (UTC-9:30). Affects: Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) trading, Iranian Solar Hijri New Year Nowruz celebrations.
About Central European Time (CET)
Central European Time (CET, IANA: Europe/Berlin, Europe/Paris) is the civil time during winter for most of continental Western and Central Europe, set at UTC+1:00. CET serves approximately 460 million people across 26 countries: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (except Canary Islands), Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City. CET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to CEST = UTC+2) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The European Commission proposed abolishing the twice-yearly clock change in 2018 (with most countries to be permanently on summer time CEST), but final implementation was postponed indefinitely due to Brexit and COVID-19. CET affects: Frankfurt Stock Exchange / Deutsche Börse / Eurex trading hours, Paris Stock Exchange Euronext trading, European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy meetings, FIFA Champions League match kickoff times (typically 21:00 CET), and the EU Commission Brussels working hours.
