The Minister of Foreign Affairs agrees to meet with your Ambassador. He says he agrees with the UN, and is very interested in finding a peaceful solution. However, he still insists that such a solution must involve the cession of part of Musandam to the UAE. He offers to help pay part of the relocation costs to move Omani citizens out of the part of Musandam that the UAE claims.
| Reach out to the US and Iran | Strengthen relations and elicit commitments that each will protect your territorial integrity from Emirati aggression. |
| Send troops to strengthen the border | Station them on the border between Musandam and the UAE. Warn the UAE that territorial aggression will not be tolerated and demand that the UAE back down. |
| Suggest the Sultan invades the UAE | Clearly they will not back down. It is best to act pre-emptively and gain a military edge. |
| Suggest ceding the territory | It is only half of Musandam, you will retain some access to the Strait, and you will avoid any further confrontation with your wealthier, powerful neighbor. |
