Thanks for the citation. That "24 hours" worries me a bit; it's not clear to me whether it means midnight at the start or at the end of the day.
It's the midnight at the end of the day.
Just to double check, are the current transitions OK?
Yes. The law is basically reinstating the 1991 regulation of President Rafsanjani's board of ministers which was canceled by President Ahmadinejad's board of ministers a few days before daylight saving was supposed to come into effect again in 2006. BTW, the funny thing is that Hassan Habibi, the First Vice President that signed the 1991 regulation, and Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, the Parliament's Speaker who signed the 2007 one, have been the only two presidents of Iranian Academy of Persian Language and Literature since its revival in 1990. Habibi became the Academy's President when it was recreated (while also serving as First Vice President) and was replaced by Haddad-Adel after his term finished. But later, Haddad-Adel resigned from the post when he became the Parliament's Speaker, leading in Habibi filling his original position again. Roozbeh
