The idea garners a very positive reception. A task force is put together to consider the best way to build what is tentatively being called The United Nations Commission on Territorial Disputes. The Security Council lauds your ability to be forward-thinking even in the face of an immediate crisis, and announces that it looks forward to increased efficiency in resolving future disputes. However, the task force is just getting started, and will not be able to help you in the short term.
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. |
Invite the UAE to another diplomatic meeting | With allies committed to your defense, this is a good time to try again to end the conflict peacefully. |
Send troops to strengthen the border | Station them between Musandam and the UAE. Warn the UAE that territorial aggression will not be tolerated and demand that the UAE back down or risk facing the combined military might of Oman and its allies. |
