FWIW, zdump -v America/Havana -c 2021,2022 gives:
America/Havana Sun Mar 14 04:59:59 2021 UT = Sat Mar 13 23:59:59 2021 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
America/Havana Sun Mar 14 05:00:00 2021 UT = Sun Mar 14 01:00:00 2021 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
Which indicates that "Sun Mar 14 00:00:00" does not exist. Sat Mar 13 23:59:59 is followed
by Sun Mar 14 01:00:00.
Tehran has the same issue a week later:
Asia/Tehran Sun Mar 21 20:29:59 2021 UT = Sun Mar 21 23:59:59 2021 +0330 isdst=0 gmtoff=12600
Asia/Tehran Sun Mar 21 20:30:00 2021 UT = Mon Mar 22 01:00:00 2021 +0430 isdst=1 gmtoff=16200
Los Angeles exhibits the same problem for "02:00 am":
$ php -ddate.timezone=America/Los_Angeles -r 'echo (new DateTime("2021-03-13
02:00"))->add(new DateInterval("P1D"))->format( DateTime::ISO8601 );'

Tell that to the people who decide at what time their region's clocks should advance.
Cuba and Tehran do it at midnight. Most of the US does it at 2am. Other places in the world advance
at 1am.

Dates are hard.

I find the behavior to be inconsistent with other timezones.
For example in https://3v4l.org/KAl19, with
America/Los_Angeles, 3/13/21 0:00 -> 3/14/21 0:00, with daylight time change happening on 3/14.
I think we assume ->add(new DateInterval("P1D")) would do 0:00am => 0:00am of next
day, rather than just adding 24 hours?

Looks right to me. https://3v4l.org/7sCi5

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/timezones.america
---
America/Havana and Asia/Tehran are two supported timezones listed from the documentation. However,
The DateTime are not handled correctly during daylight time transition.
This happens when doing $dt->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
On e.g. 2021/03/14 for America/Havana
On e.g. 2021/03/21 for Asia/Tehran
Test script:
---------------
// http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/0650352a9684872c8dcfff00a64b11660a56eba8
$local_timezone_name = 'America/Havana';
$timestamp = 1615611600; // local time 3/13/21 0:00
$time = (new DateTime())->setTimestamp($timestamp)
->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($local_timezone_name));
$time->add(new DateInterval('P1D')); // local time 03/13/21 1:00
// http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/623d5587f5453dd487492e5fde64cc836a84dcd9
$local_timezone_name = 'Asia/Tehran';
$timestamp = 1616272200; // local time 3/21/21 0:00
$time = (new DateTime())->setTimestamp($timestamp)
->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($local_timezone_name));
$time->add(new DateInterval('P1D')); // local time 03/22/21 1:00
