“Entirely Unpredictable,” Says Professor of Law Emeritus William C. Banks on the War in Iran

Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus William C. Banks spoke with Salon on the Iran war.

Banks said that Trump’s handling of the conflict has been “entirely unpredictable” and said he advised against “putting faith” in the timelines previously suggested by the Trump administration, referring to Hegseth as “inexperienced.”

“Nobody knew anything. Nobody experienced the conflict yet,” Banks said. “So, I don’t think there is a timeline.”
