Chapter 7: Pathways to Interstate Peace

Outcome:

The Minister of Foreign Affairs agrees to meet with your ambassador. Your ambassador lays out the situation, pointing out that the security of Musandam is guaranteed by the US, Iran, and the international community. Oman will not give in, and if the UAE attempts to take the territory by force, it will face the combined military might of the international community. He further emphasizes that Oman would like to maintain a cordial relationship with the UAE, but to do so the UAE must forgo any claims to any part of Musandam. Realizing that it is up against a powerful international coalition, the UAE backs down.

You have successfully ended the conflict peacefully using a shrewd combination of diplomacy, power balancing, and gentle threats. Well done. You have demonstrated admirable political acumen and proved yourself a valuable asset to the Sultan. Your future is bright. Congratulations!
