Russia to give grain to Iran in return for oil

Russian Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev says Moscow plans to sign contracts with Iran to start delivering grain and industrial products to Tehran in return for oil, according to Press TV.
"This question was raised. It will affect not only grain, there are broad lists of goods," Ulyukayev told reporters in Tehran on Sunday, referring to his meeting earlier in the day with his Iranian counterpart, Ali Tayyebnia.
He hoped a deal could be reached in this regard in the near future, adding that the central banks of Russia and Iran are working on ways to start making payments in the two countries’ national currencies and preparatory work has already begun to achieve this goal.
