> First, look at a map. The strait is entirely contained by Omani and Iranian waters

The UAE has a stake, too.

> don't have much else to say to you if you actually think that assassinating a head of state in the middle of active negotiations is anything but vile & uncivilized behavior unbecoming of a "civilized" superpower

This statement weakens your argument. (It's also not in line with this forum's guidleines around arguing in good faith.)



I am not talking about stakes; I am talking about territory.

Uh if you say so. Can you point me to the rule stating that I need to keep engaging in a discussion I am not interested in having?


> I am talking about territory

Yeah. As you suggested, "look at a map." The UAE controls most of the Musandam Peninsula.

> that I need to keep engaging

You don't. But you also don't need to storm off.


Just came back to this. In what world is Musandam mostly controlled by the UAE? Can you point this out on a map?
