Rep. Dan Crenshaw praised President Trump’s decision to de-escalate tensions with Iran following the president’s address to the nation Wednesday.

“Judging from Iran’s statement ‘not seeking escalation ‘ & Trump’s tactical patience after last night’s inconsequential missile attacks, it appears that a strategy of peace through strength is working,” Crenshaw tweeted. “Doesn’t mean the road ahead is easy, but US leverage is vastly improved.”
