U.S. report: First round of Iran talks until ... October

Haaretz, here
"Several days ago, Jerusalem received a classified notice reporting on a meeting between a senior European official and the special U.S. envoy on Iran, Dennis Ross. The telegram stated that Ross said this autumn, probably October, was the target date for concluding the first round of talks. 
Ross said that unless the U.S. sees a change in Iran's position on its nuclear program, Washington's stance toward Tehran will stiffen at that time,.............
In June, a foreign ministers' conference is scheduled to take place in Italy regarding Afghanistan. The Iranians have been invited to participate, and if they do, the first meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki will probably take place there.
