U.S. President Joe Biden thanked the sultan of Oman on Tuesday for the country's support of a UN-mediated truce in Yemen and for its decision to open its airspace to all civilian aircraft, including those flying to and from Israel, the White House said in a statement.
Biden also told His Majesty Haitham bin Tariq Al Said he welcomed Oman's role in securing the freedom of American citizens wrongfully held in Iran.
