بين نصرٍ كامل " #أمريكا " و نصرٍ عظيم " #إيران " حربٌ إنتهت بلا منتصر وانفضَّ السامر وإنتهت الحرب كما توقعتُ قبل أسابيع في هذا الحساب. اليوم تعلن #واشنطن و #طهران كلُّ عبر نوافذه الإعلامية أنه المنتصر في مشهدٍ يعكس صراع الروايات أكثر مما يعكس حقيقة الميدان. #أمريكا تتحدث عن نصرٍ كامل و #إيران تردُّ عليها بـ نصرٍ عظيم لكن الحقيقة الأوضح لا أحد انتصر الجميع خاسرون. فالخسائر لم تكن عسكرية فقط بل سياسيةً واقتصادية والأهم من ذلك الاجتماعية والإنسانية التي ترتبت عن هذه الحرب المجنونة . ما جرى ليس انتصاراً بل هدنة مؤقتة تعيد ترتيب الأوراق وقد تؤجل ولا تنهي جولةً أخرى. أما بالنسبة لي شخصياً فلم يعنِني يوماً أمرُ #إيران ولا نظامُها ولا #أمريكا ومن يسكن البيت الأبيض. ما كان يعنيني ولا يزال هو دولُنا #الخليجية الست واستقرارُها وأمنُها. في هذه اللحظة بعد هدوء العاصفة تستدعي إعادة قراءةٍ لكثيرٍ من الحسابات لأن ما حدث قد يتكرر بعد عقدٍ أو عقدين. فإيران لن تكون يوماً دولةً سهلةً أو ضعيفة وأيًّا كان من يحكمها #دينياً كان أم #ليبرالياً فإن منطلقها الاستراتيجي سيبقى واحداً قائماً على تعظيم دورها ونفوذها في الإقليم والمنطقة على حساب دولنا الخليجية .

The GCC stands at a pivotal moment in its economic evolution. Greater regulatory harmonization can unlock deeper cross-border investment, strengthen resilience, and position the region as a global leader in financial innovation. In my latest for @TheNationalNews, I explore why aligning frameworks across the Gulf is both timely and necessary. thenationalnews.com/opinion/commen…

The GCC has a rare chance to become one of the world’s most efficient cross-border financial blocs. The question is not whether change is needed—but how quickly we can align to lead.

In a time of geopolitical uncertainty, consistency and clarity matter more than ever. A harmonised GCC regulatory framework would send a powerful signal of resilience and long-term vision to global investors.

I invite you to read my new opinion piece on @TheNationalNews on why the GCC’s next economic leap depends on deeper regulatory harmonisation across the region. Read here: thenationalnews.com/opinion/commen…

At #FIIPriority Miami 2026, Rishi Kapoor, Vice Chairman and CIO of #Investcorp, joined industry leaders to discuss the evolving framework for large-scale co-investments. As deal sizes grow, co-investing is becoming more than a side allocation, increasingly forming part of core private equity portfolios. But scaling it successfully requires more than capital: it demands experienced teams, strong GP relationships, and governance frameworks defined before deployment. The discussion also reinforced that co-investing remains a people-driven business, where underwriting judgment, alignment, and the ability to co-underwrite alongside sponsors are critical to long-term success. At Investcorp, we see co-investments as a key extension of our platform, enabling disciplined and selective capital deployment globally. @FIIKSA
