Understanding the +3h 30m Gap: Iran vs ICT

Iran runs on Iran Standard Time (IRST) at UTC+03:30. ICT runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. That puts Iran 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of ICT — a difference of +3h 30m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Iran it is 12:30 PM in ICT. Midnight in Iran is 3:30 AM in ICT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Iran to ICT time

Scheduling a call from Iran to ICT: a 10:00 AM start in Iran lands at 1:30 PM in ICT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Iran and ICT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM IRST time (12:30 PM–5:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 4 hours 30 minutes of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Iran viewers need 12:30 PM in ICT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 8:30 PM if the event is anchored to Iran.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM IRST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h 30m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Iran and need ICT colleagues present.

Best time to call between Iran and ICT

Both Iran and ICT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST, which is 12:30 PM–5:00 PM ICT. That gives roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Iran and ICT overlap for about 4 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
