It's the midnight at the end of the day.

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.
