    "I am not aware of any mediation efforts," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said at a news briefing.

    McCormack said that the United States would not negotiate with Iran unless Iran complies with a UN Security Council resolution demanding that it halt uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities.
