Tehran carries more of the schedule pain because the recommended slot pushes toward earlier starts or later finishes on that side.

Lunch and workweek pressure

The cleanest live band overlaps a lunch window for both cities, so the nominal overlap is more fragile than the raw offset suggests. Workweek guidance is limited for this pair, so keep local operating calendars visible.

How to Pick a Slot

  1. Check the current clocks. Review the live Lagos and Tehran clocks to confirm the real offset and DST state right now.
  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 15:00 Lagos window before you promise a recurring slot.
  3. Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
