The site uses the same 33-year Solar Hijri cycle as the Persian date converter. Nowruz 1405 is 21 March 2026, so 30 Azar 1405 is 21 December 2026. The official Iranian calendar is astronomical and can differ in rare years; for 1405 it matches this conversion. The night also coincides with the December solstice in 2026.
