Iranian bank cards can be used in Russia

Tehran, IRNA - The Russian banking network known as "Mir" was connected to the Iranian banking network (Shetab) in a ceremony attended by Governor of Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Mohammadreza Farzin so that the bank cards of Iranians can be used in Russian banks from now on.
