About Shahr-e Kord Time Zone
Shahr-e Kord uses the IANA time zone Asia/Tehran, the standard time zone for Iran. Its standard UTC offset is UTC+3:30, which places it half an hour ahead of Gulf cities such as Dubai (UTC+4) by only 30 minutes behind, and 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of London when the UK is on UTC in winter. The city is located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province in southwestern-central Iran, so it follows the same national civil time used in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad.
Iran previously used daylight saving time, shifting from UTC+3:30 to UTC+4:30 during part of the year. However, Iran abolished daylight saving time in 2022, so Shahr-e Kord now remains on UTC+3:30 year-round with no seasonal clock changes. That means there are no spring-forward or fall-back transition dates to track locally, which simplifies scheduling for remote teams and travelers compared with countries that still change clocks in March and October or November.
Because Shahr-e Kord stays fixed on UTC+3:30 while many international partner cities still observe DST, the time difference changes seasonally from the perspective of foreign cities. For example, the gap between Shahr-e Kord and London is 3 hours 30 minutes in UK winter but 2 hours 30 minutes during British Summer Time; the gap to New York is 8 hours 30 minutes when New York is on EST and 7 hours 30 minutes when New York is on EDT. This matters for trade calls, university coordination, and travel itineraries involving connections through Europe or the Gulf.
Shahr-e Kord City Details
Shahr-e Kord has a population of 129,153, making it a mid-sized Iranian provincial capital rather than a megacity like Tehran or Mashhad. It sits at 32.32612° N, 50.8572° E, in a mountainous part of Iran known for its higher elevation and cooler climate relative to many lowland cities in the country.
The local currency is the Iranian rial (IRR), which is the official currency used for pricing, banking, and domestic transactions across Iran. If you are arranging payments, hotel bookings, or local services, you should expect official amounts to be denominated in IRR, even though informal pricing conversations in Iran may sometimes reference tomans in everyday speech.
The country dialing code is +98, so international calls to Shahr-e Kord use Iran’s country code followed by the local number. This is useful when setting up direct phone contact for family visits, freight coordination, or confirming appointments with local institutions and businesses.
