Iran has delayed the release of a US hiker arrested on suspicion of espionage, a Tehran prosecutor says.
Sarah Shourd, 31, had been due to be freed on Saturday, officials had previously said.
Ms Shourd and two other hikers, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 27, were detained last July after they crossed the Iran-Iraq border in the north.
Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said the release had been delayed because legal procedures were not complete.
