> I don't know to what extent these links are considered standard (koobs)
The links like Iran are non-standard. they are specified in the "backward" file in the IANA tzdata distribution which has the following preamble:
# This file provides links between current names for time zones
# and their old names. Many names changed in late 1993.
I'll change "Iran" to "Asia/Tehran" in the test.
$ grep Iran Work/tz/backward
Link Asia/Tehran Iran |
