Mobilizing troops brings tensions to a boiling point. The UAE responds by mobilizing its own forces and sending them to the border, ostensibly to secure the Emirati border. The UAE condemns the mobilization as Omani aggression, but seems hesitant to engage now that Oman has garnered the support of the US and Iran.
| 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 UN | Request diplomatic interference and a commitment to militarily aid Oman in defense of its territory. Having already received commitments from the US and Iran, it can only help to get the general international community on your side as well. |
