World Clock
Time in Iran
Shown above is the current time across Iran, alongside the time zone Iran keeps and the live local time in its main cities.
The whole of Iran runs on a single time, Tehran time (UTC+3:30) — so every city listed on this page reads exactly the same clock.
Iran doesn't observe daylight saving at all — its offset from UTC stays fixed the entire year, so if the gap to another country ever changes, it's that other country moving its own clocks, not this one.
