Read excerpt
Mike Pompeo is the only person in American history to have served as both CIA director and secretary of state. A West Point graduate who finished first in his class, a Harvard Law Review editor and a former manufacturing entrepreneur, he served under US President Donald Trump and was one of the architects of the Abraham Accords. His memoir is titled Never Give an Inch. Speaking to Manus Cranny in New York, days after attending Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral in Washington, where Benjamin Netany
Mike Pompeo: 'Gulf states will have to join US to finish the job on Iran' | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ask Mike Pompeo if there is a risk of an all-out Middle East war, and he not only corrects you; he raises the stakes. "Oh goodness, I think it's far worse than that. That's a global war. Make no mistake about it," he tells The National during an interview in New York. Mr Pompeo, who was CIA director and then secretary of state during US President Donald Trump's first term, ties Tehran, Beijing and Moscow into a single axis and points to new intelligence he says only strengthens the picture.

Anybody who bet against the Gulf in past 50 years has lost money, says Investcorp's Alardhi | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mohammed Alardhi does not flinch when you present the region's worst decade of headlines to him. Sitting in his office in London's Mayfair days before he is due to chair a closed-door session with the former head of MI6, Sir Richard Moore, the executive chairman of Investcorp answers the volatility question with a number, not a feeling. âThe investors that know the region know that this is a volatility, but the fundamentals have not changed,â he says. Gulf sovereign funds defy war uncertaint
