Iran has announced that, for the first time in the 48-year history of the Islamic Republic, it has obtained a financial outcome from such legal proceedings against the United States and seized the country’s property.
Globalinfo.az reports that Hamid Hashemi Golpayegani, chief executive of the “EB Home” organisation, which assists children suffering from epidermolysis bullosa, known as “butterfly disease”, provided the information.
It was reported that the organisation and the families of patients secured the seizure of an oil cargo through the courts.
According to the organisation, supplies of medical dressings essential for patients were halted as a result of US sanctions against Iran. The seized funds are planned to be used to pay compensation to affected citizens.
