An Iranian court has sentenced the US administration to pay $6.785 billion in compensation in a lawsuit filed by patients with the deadly disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), for which treatment options have been eliminated due to unilateral sanctions imposed by the US.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), commonly referred to as “butterfly disease”, is a rare genetic condition that causes the skin to blister, making it as fragile as a butterfly’s wings.
Many patients have died over the years, and others have had their limbs amputated, according to Iranian media.
A group of 295 butterfly patients had filed a lawsuit against 30 US individuals and entities they claimed were responsible for imposing and enforcing sanctions that prevent them from accessing the dressing material.
