The mobilization of military force brings tensions to a boiling point. The UAE responds by mobilizing their own troops to the Musandam border, ostensibly to protect Emirati territory. The UAE condemns your actions as Omani aggression, but seems wary of engaging due to your international backers.
Request a meeting | Invite the Omani ambassador to the UAE and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE. |
Suggest the Sultan sends an envoy | The envoy should represent the Sultan to the UAE's President or Minister of Foreign Affairs. The purpose of this visit should be to stress Oman's commitment to friendly relations with the UAE and to solve the dispute peacefully. |
Suggest the Sultan invades the UAE | Clearly the UAE will not back down, and you now have a strong international coalition at your back. 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. |
