He said discussions with the highest level of Iranian leadership have taken a positive turn and a time and place for a potential deal signing will be announced shortly.
The comments mark a sharp shift after two nights of attacks between the two countries, coming just hours after he said the US would hit Iran very hard tonight.

Trump said the settlement will be subject to finalisation of documents which should get done over the next few days.
He added there will probably be a signing maybe in Europe, and noted the stock markets were up 1,000 points saying that means they like the deal.
Iran did not confirm a deal had been reached.
The semiofficial Tasnim news agency cautioned that until any potential understanding is officially announced by Iran any statements by Trump on this matter should be viewed in the context of his previous claims.
Trump said in the post that discussions and final points have been approved in both concept and great detail by all parties involved, which he said included the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.
He added that the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect until the transaction is finalised.
