In Iran, samovars have been used for at least two centuries (roughly since the era of close political and ethnic contact between Russia and Iran started), and electrical, oil-burning or natural gas-consuming samovars are still common.
Di Iran, samovar telah digunakan sekurang-kurangnya sejak dua abad lalu (kira-kira sejak zaman dimulainya hubungan politik dan etnis yang erat antara Rusia dan Iran), dan samovar listrik, minyak atau dengan gas alam masih umum.
