Russia: Ruble Dominates Over Half of Asian Imports
Moscow – SABA:
The Russian Central Bank announced a historic shift in international payment trends on Monday, revealing that ruble payments exceeded 50% of Russia's total import value from Asian countries for the first time in April.
According to Russia Today, the ruble's share in Asian import settlements surged by 15.6% annually to reach 51.9% – surpassing the previous record of 49.5% set in February.
Global Ruble Dominance (April 2025):
- Americas: 60.2% of payments
- Europe: 67.6%
- Africa: 68%
- Caribbean: 77.5%
This marks a strategic decoupling from Western currencies amid ongoing sanctions, with the ruble now accounting for over half of Russia's global trade payments.

Iranian 'Cyber Support Front' announces attack on Israeli Weapons of mass destruction factory
Tehran – SABA: The Iranian 'Cyber Support Front' announced on Saturday that it had carried out a cyberattack on an Israeli factory involved in producing weapons of mass destruction. In a statement reported by Iran's Tasnim News Agency, the front said it had monitored and infiltrated the CR Casting / EXACT company for a long time—companies that have supported the Zionist criminals in the manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction. The statement added: 'CR Casting and its affiliated factories are involved in precision metal casting and production of sensitive components for the military and defense industries, including companies like Elbit, Rafael, and IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), which are associated with the Zionist entity. They manufacture parts used in offensive and defensive missiles, tanks, helicopters, and Israeli aircraft that are used in brutal attacks on civilians.' It continued: 'With support from freedom-fighting hackers around the world, the front managed to expose these factories and their inhumane activities, launching multiple cyberattacks to penetrate, disrupt their systems and production, and obtain their sensitive data.'
