Thank you very much! This was really helpful and helped me figure out the major issue. I will start a new thread with the actual change necessary. On Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 5:18 AM Jon Skeet <jonathan.skeet@gmail.com> wrote:
As an online alternative to enh's option, https://nodatime.org/tzvalidate/generate can be used to generate a tzvalidate format <https://github.com/nodatime/tzvalidate/blob/main/format.md> report. The version can be specified as a query parameter, along with the zone, start year and end year. For example:
https://nodatime.org/tzvalidate/generate?version=2025a&zone=Asia/Tehran&star... (I've extended the year range there just for clarity)
That generates:
Asia/Tehran Initially: +03:30:00 standard +0330 1977-03-21 19:30:00Z +04:30:00 daylight +0430 1977-10-20 19:30:00Z +04:00:00 standard +04 1978-03-24 20:00:00Z +05:00:00 daylight +05 1978-08-04 20:00:00Z +04:00:00 standard +04 1978-12-31 20:00:00Z +03:30:00 standard +0330 1979-05-26 20:30:00Z +04:30:00 daylight +0430 1979-09-18 19:30:00Z +03:30:00 standard +0330 1980-03-20 20:30:00Z +04:30:00 daylight +0430 1980-09-22 19:30:00Z +03:30:00 standard +0330
(A quick scan suggests that's the same data as produced by zdump, which is certainly what I'd expect...)

Can someone please kindly give me a dump of Asia/Tehran changes according to the latest tzdata for the years 1977-1981?
I'm trying to piece together the newspaper bits and pieces and compare with the tz database, and it seems that there is clearly some transitions missing. Specifically, I find the following lines confusing:
4:00 Iran %z 1979 3:30 Iran %z
Does that mean we think Iran switched from UTC+4:00 to UTC+3:30 on Jan 1, 1979?
Thanks a lot, Roozbeh
