The UAE grants the meeting but rejects your demands. The UAE strongly doubts that the UN will act militarily in your defense quickly enough to prevent the UAE from seizing part of Musandam. The UAE also emphasizes that it would prefer to settle the conflict peacefully, offering to provide Oman with some level of monetary compensation for the costs of losing the territory. However, the UAE also warns you that if it comes to war, it will not hesitate to seize all of Musandam.
| Reach out to the US and Iran | Strengthen relations and elicit commitments that each will protect your territorial integrity from Emirati 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. |
