Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's victory in the Israeli election will not hamper US efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, the State Department said Wednesday.
The Israeli leader opposes any accommodation with Tehran and came to Washington during the campaign to address US lawmakers and denounce the agreement under negotiation as a "bad deal."
"We've been long familiar with the views of the prime minister on Iran. We don't think that his win has impacted the Iran negotiations, or will," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is in Lausanne for talks this week with his Iranian counterpart seeking to reach a framework accord to rein in Iran's suspect nuclear program before a March 31 deadline.
Psaki repeated the talks had been "difficult but constructive" while agreeing that on the complex technical aspects the negotiations had been "professional and fruitful in terms of identifying the technical issues, clarifying them, sharpening them."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif Wednesday played down the chances of reaching a deal this week, saying other foreign ministers from world powers involved in the negotiations were unlikely to join them.
"We're pushing forward as much as we can now to see what we can get done this week. There's still a couple of days left," Psaki told reporters.

Nuclear Talks are still nothing more than a Pile Of Obama Droppings
“”We don’t think that his win has impacted the Iran negotiations, or will,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. “”
SUPER! Then when everything falls apart around obozo and Kerry’s ears, we won’t have to hear about Bibi being blamed for scuttling the negotiations. Glad to hear it!!
It doesn’t make any difference now, because it never made any difference before!
Fact Check: Was Obama ‘silent’ on Iran 2009 protests?
http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/08/politics/fact-check-romney-iran/index.html
CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, on the streets of Tehran, reported on “riot situations, lots of marches, people shouting ‘Down with dictatorship.’”
“”We’ve been long familiar with the views of the prime minister on Iran. We don’t think that his win has impacted the Iran negotiations, or will,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. “
Translation: “ We’re totally screwed! “
But a loss would have been huge.
However, if he had lost...
You know damn well Obama would have said, “See, even the Israelis know these nuclear talks are not a threat to Israel at all.”
I suspect the brain-trust is trying to figure out how an Executive Order can be used to get rid of Netanyahu.

Bibi squashed Obama like a little bug. Don’t eff with Bibi.
yeah, total hypocrites. what if the other side had won. it would be a swoon song of Peace in the mid east bull shit to never hear the end of it.
We dodged a bullet on this one
Poor Jen. She’s never going to get to meet a real man as long as she continues to hang around the commie ‘RAT Party.
So why did they work so hard and so blatantly to defeat Bibi in the elections?
The people of Israel are God’s chosen people. ‘nuff said.
Obama is listening to all the Jews that didn’t vote in the election....
