Date and time notation in Iran
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Iran/24yukge8">Iran</a>, short dates are written as <i>year/month/day</i>, for example ۱۳۸۹/۵/۱۶, and long dates as <i>day month name year</i> from right to left, for example ۱۶ مرداد ۱۳۸۹. Both two-digit and four-digit years are valid but months and days are not usually padded with leading zeros. </p>
