About Khowy Time Zone
Khowy uses the IANA time zone Asia/Tehran, the standard time zone used across Iran.

Iran currently operates on Iran Standard Time (IRST), UTC+3:30, and does not currently observe daylight saving time. Since recent legal changes ended seasonal clock changes in Iran, Khowy now remains on the same offset year-round, which simplifies recurring scheduling for businesses, logistics teams, and travelers who need predictable local time in western Azerbaijan Province.
