Iran firms seek ruble deals for Russia grain-trade
Iranian traders are in talks with Russian sellers over the import of grain which will bypass western banking sanctions imposed on the Islamic Theocratic Republic, trade sources said on Thursday.
 After all, how much more rice will India sell them, being as Iran stiffed them on payment for the last lot...and then blew up some diplomats on their territory?
Sources said any deals were likely to be done in roubles avoiding European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
 and US currency restrictions which were covered by sanctions over Iran's disputed nuclear program.
