सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Tehran, 'زمان اوج' is not just a time, it's a lifestyle constraint. People plan their entire social lives around avoiding it. The character 'Baba Barghi' is a famous cultural icon used in TV ads to warn children and adults about 'زمان اوج مصرف'. During Ramadan, the 'زمان اوج' shifts significantly. The hour before 'Iftar' (breaking fast) becomes the most intense rush hour. Iran has different electricity tariffs for 'زمان اوج' to discourage usage, a fact every household head is aware of.
