Oman issues warning to UAE as the GCC infighting escalates

Since 2015, UAE-Saudi partnership has created a military war against Yemen creating one of history's worst ever humanitarian crisis.

Post 2012, UAE and Saudi had placed a ban on Iran, Libya and some other countries for trade, tourism etc.

In 2017, UAE-Saudi “Council” placed a major blockade against Qatar ejecting all Qataris, their businesses, airlines, TV stations, shipping and insurance companies etc, blocking their travel to/from UAE, Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain thus pushing Qatar closer to Turkey, Iran etc.

Now in mid 2018, UAE-Saudi "Council" is going for some sort of conflict/blockade with  Oman.

This will further deteriorate business conditions in the UAE (Dubai in particular), not as much in Oman because Oman is doing far better with Qatari and Chinese support at it's Duqm and Sohar ports & airports due to it's rising trade with Iran and around the region.

Let's hope that peace shall prevail and that Oman does not ban UAE goods and services in retaliation (like Qatar and Iran did), should UAE-Saudi take any action against Oman.
