# Iran
+# From Paul Eggert (1996-12-17), following up a suggestion by Rich Wales:
+# Ahmad Alavi <URL:http://tehran.stanford.edu/Iran_Lib/Calendar/taghveem.txt>
+# (1993-08-04) writes ``Daylight saving time in Iran starts from the first day
+# of Farvardin and ends the first day of Mehr.'' This disagrees with the SSIM:
+#
+# DST start DST end
+# year SSIM Alavi SSIM Alavi
+# 1991 05-03!= 03-21 09-20!= 09-23
+# 1992 03-22!= 03-21 09-23 09-23

+# 1997 03-21 03-21 09-21!= 09-23
+#
+# Go with Alavi starting with 1992.
+# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 19.34 to compute Persian dates.
+# The Persian calendar is based on the sun, and dates after around 2050
+# are approximate; stop after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.
