Hi Dear Brian,

Thanks for your response,

I saw that this changes is reflected in documents and it is working
correctly in Microsoft windows. but when I download the latest and (some
pre-release) of tzdata from this below links
https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz, I saw
something different in the "asia" file , section Iran that  is as below:

# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Asia/Tehran 3:25:44 - LMT 1916
3:25:44 - TMT 1935 Jun 13 # Tehran Mean Time
3:30 Iran +0330/+0430 1977 Oct 20 24:00
4:00 Iran +04/+05 1979
3:30 Iran +0330/+0430

>From the above lines I got the last Rule for DST changes is : "Rule Iran
2021 2022 - Sep 21 24:00 0 " and it is +0330/+0430.  So the new DST policy
is not reflected in it.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes .
