European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: I spoke with the Sultan of Oman this evening. I strongly condemned Iran's attack on Omani territory and expressed Europe's full support. I thanked Oman for its role in the indirect negotiations between the US and Iran. In the crucial days to come, Oman will undoubtedly continue to play a vital role in promoting stability in the region. This crisis highlights the importance of further strengthening the political dialogue between the EU and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
