EET and IRST examples

These examples always use EET (UTC+2) and IRST (UTC+3:30). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

EET is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind IRST.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, EEST is 30 minutes behind IRST. At other times of the year, EET is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind IRST.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in EEST correspond to 9:30 am to 5:30 pm in IRST. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in EET correspond to 10:30 am to 6:30 pm in IRST.

Compare EET time with IRST time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.
