Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in London is 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Tehran.
Both offices are open during 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM London time, which is 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Tehran. Tehran is 2.5 hours ahead of London, and with 8 hours of overlap you can even run back-to-back calls without stepping outside business hours. Watch the DST gap — when London changes its clocks and Tehran stays the same, this window slides by an hour.
