In an interview with local al-Wisal radio station, Deputy Chairman of the Public Authority for Craft Industries of Oman Isam bin Ali al Rawas has warned that Oman's ruler Sultan Qaboos was in possession of damning documents against the UAE, which he would reveal if he decided to do so.
“Neighbours should realise that the Omani nation has run out of patience,” he said.
Tension has been simmering since 2011 when Oman disbanded an Emirati spy cell targeting Sultan Qaboos.
Oman was further incensed after the UAE unveiled its map which included Oman’s Musandam Province at the opening of Louvre Abu Dhabi last November.
The last straw came recently after a UAE series portrayed an Omani historical figure as an Emirati icon.
Muscat, which has tried to avoid being dragged into a Saudi-led rift with Qatar, is opposed to the UAE participation in the war against Yemen.
Just recently, Oman decided to ban the operations of an Emirati bank in the sultanate.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are accused of plotting to monopolise power in the Persian Gulf region through aggressive policies against their neighbours .
