The border becomes increasingly volatile. With Emirati and Omani troops stationed so close to one another at a time of such high tension, skirmishes begin to break out. While no serious fighting has occurred (no fatalities and just a handful of injuries on either side), the situation is at risk of escalation if action is not taken to defuse tension.
| Request a meeting | Invite 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 envoy | The 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 UAE | You have the international community at your back, led by the world's largest military power and Iran, a regional superpower. Now is the time to strike, to protect Omani interests. |
