About Torbat-e Jām Time Zone
Torbat-e Jām uses the Asia/Tehran IANA time zone, the standard time zone for Iran. The city’s standard UTC offset is UTC+3:30, which is one of the less common half-hour offsets used globally, so it often causes confusion when people compare it with cities that use whole-hour offsets such as Dubai at UTC+4 or London at UTC+0 in winter.
Iran previously used daylight saving time, but Iran abolished DST in 2022, so Torbat-e Jām now stays on UTC+3:30 year-round. That means there are no seasonal clock changes in Torbat-e Jām, which simplifies scheduling for residents and businesses inside Iran, but international callers still need to account for DST changes in other countries such as the UK, the US, and Australia.
Torbat-e Jām is located in Razavi Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran, relatively close to the Afghanistan border and within the broader economic orbit of Mashhad, the province’s largest city.
