"Similar to event 4, this event describes the same core action (US threat against Oman) with slightly different phrasing regarding the purpose (facilitating negotiations vs. general interference). It represents a parallel report or aspect of the same immediate diplomatic crisis."
"Event 12 describes the same core action (US President threatening military action against Oman over Iran negotiations) as the new event.
