Chapter 7: Pathways to Interstate Peace

Outcome:

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 UN, US, and Iran.

What do you do now?

Request a meetingInvite the Omani ambassador to the UAE and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE. With allies committed to your defense, this is a good time to try to end the conflict peacefully, and sending an ambassador means you may be able to solve the issue without directly involving the Sultan.
Suggest the Sultan sends an envoyThe envoy should represent the Sultan to the UAE's President or Minister of Foreign Affairs. With allies committed to your defense, this is a good time to try to end the conflict peacefully, and the UAE will likely appreciate the envoy coming directly from the Sultan.
Suggest the Sultan invades the UAEClearly they will not back down. It is best to act pre-emptively and gain a military edge.
Reach out to the US and IranStrengthen relations and elicit commitments that each will protect your territorial integrity from Emirati aggression.
Do nothing for the time beingDeclare that the troops will remain stationed there until the UAE backs down from its territorial claims.
