east coast or west coast closer to iran 2026

import math

Coordinates (latitude, longitude) in decimal degrees
def haversine_distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2):
# Radius of Earth in kilometers
R = 6371.0

# Convert degrees to radians
lat1_rad = math.radians(lat1)
lon1_rad = math.radians(lon1)
lat2_rad = math.radians(lat2)
lon2_rad = math.radians(lon2)

# Differences
dlat = lat2_rad - lat1_rad
dlon = lon2_rad - lon1_rad

# Haversine formula
a = math.sin(dlat / 2)2 + math.cos(lat1_rad) * math.cos(lat2_rad) * math.sin(dlon / 2)2
c = 2 * math.atan2(math.sqrt(a), math.sqrt(1 - a))

distance = R * c
return distance

US East Coast representative: New York City
east_coast_nyc = (40.7128, -74.0060)

US West Coast representative: Los Angeles
west_coast_la = (34.0522, -118.2437)

dist_east = haversine_distance(iran_tehran, east_coast_nyc)
dist_west = haversine_distance(iran_tehran, west_coast_la)

dist_east, dist_west, dist_east < dist_west
