Your patience pays off. Faced with the military might of the US and Iran in addition to Omani force, the UAE finally backs down. However, the persistent threats of war throughout the diplomatic process and the long, tense nature of the talks make it highly likely that relations between Oman and the UAE will remain cool for some time. Perhaps a more efficient path to peace could have been found. Nonetheless, you have done a fine job overall, and the Sultan is pleased with your work. Congratulations.
