April 21 (Reuters) - Halliburton reported a rise in first-quarter profit on Tuesday, as steady demand in Latin America and European markets helped offset a slowdown in activity in the Middle East due to the Iran war.

The U.S. oilfield services provider said net income attributable to the company was $461 million, or 55 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31, compared with $204 million, or 24 cents per share, a year earlier.
