Class 'App\Http\Controllers\IntlDateFormatter' not found

Question

I develop this code to view Tehran time and date with php:

$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter("fa_IR@calendar=persian", IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'Asia/Tehran', IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL);

    echo "Date: " . $fmt->format(time()) . "\n";

this code works fine but, I want to use it in a function in my controller in Laravel.

Route:

Route::get('/date', [
'as' => 'date', 'uses' => 'HomeController@date'
]);

Controller :

public function date() {
    $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter("fa_IR@calendar=persian", IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'Asia/Tehran', IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL);

    echo "Date: " . $fmt->format(time()) . "\n";
}

And the result is :

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\IntlDateFormatter' not found

I know that there is not IntlDateFormatter class in Laravel but I except that use php class here. what is my mistake?
