The mobilization of military force brings tensions to a boiling point. The UAE responds by mobilizing their own troops to the Musandam border, ostensibly to protect Emirati territory. The UAE condemns your actions as Omani aggression.
| 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. |
| Reach out to the US and Iran | Strengthen relations and elicit commitments that each will protect your territorial integrity from Emirati aggression. |
| Do nothing for the time being | Declare that the troops will remain stationed there until the UAE backs down from its territorial claims. |
| Invite the UAE to another diplomatic meeting | With UN backing, this is a good time to try again to end the conflict peacefully. |
