US-Iran talks set for Saturday likely to be postponed, Axios reporter says

WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - A fourth round of talks between the United States and Iran, which was due to take place in Rome on Saturday, is likely to be postponed until next week, an Axios reporter said on Thursday, citing three sources.

A meeting planned for Friday with Iran and Britain, France and Germany, collectively known as the E3, may also be postponed, the reporter said. Washington and Tehran have been conducting negotiations over the past month on a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program in return for the lifting of financial sanctions.
