In trade exchanges with foreign countries, Iran uses other currencies, including yuan, euro, Turkish lira, Russian ruble and South Korean won, Gholamali Kamyab, deputy head of the Central Bank of Iran, told the country's Tasnim news agency.

Iran will also consider the possibility of signing bilateral monetary agreements with several countries on the use of other currencies, Kamyab said, adding that the move will ease Iran's foreign trade and economic transactions.
