does not matter how much we wait. Something that people outside US don't know is that when a law is passed from congress to sanction some country, it is almost impossible to change it. So, I don't think it is practical.

It is not practical in the near future. BTW, why they just don't use Turkey, which is a closer route to export gas to Europe, and its government is more friendly with mullahs? Dude, mullahs have the habit to talk a lot and make promises and do not do any of their words, and promises in reality

What does this have to do with Rouhani visiting Azerbaijan?

some sanction laws are passed by congress. no matter of how much progress is achieved in nuclear negotiations, these laws cannot be changed in near future. So, US laws would not let such a deal happens

No, I'm actually more enthusiastic about prospect of better relations with Azerbaijan than commercial aspect of such a visit. Moreover, if Russia cut the supply of natural gas to Europe; Europe has to start thinking long-term.

Yup they should be really desperate to ask US to change the laws, which it is even doubtful to happen in that condition. BTW, Azeri, and Turkmen gas and also North African Gas are the other option instead of Russia to supply EU gas demands. mullah gas comes after all of these resources

It's a routine. When one side pays an official visit, the other side will return that visit in a short period of time. Usually less than a year.

And about gas pipeline, I don't think it's true, because:
1.it's easier to send it through Turkey
2. Azerbaijan wouldn't allow its gas rival to send a pipeline through its soil. It's not wise, unless some other terms are discussed about it.

I am saying that this swap or export or whatever is not gonna happen

its not rival gas
if it is true then Europe would be buying Irans and Azerbaijans gas
and the pipeline is already U/C through Turkey
so as it is already getting built its easier to send it through this one

again its just a rumor but I heard Azerbaijan would be exporting Iranian gas and in return Iran and Azerbaijan agree on a common border in the Caspian Sea
( agreeing to Azerbaijans claimed line )

It all depends on how Russia plays it game, if you mean short-term then I'll have to agree, because Iran doesn't have the capacity to export gas to Europe, currently Iran faces natural gas shortages during cold sessions, however if the conflict with Russia continues Europe needs an alternative to Russian gas and Iran currently has the largest reserves of natural gas in the world. With proper investment and a decade under less strict financial sanctions Iran might be able to turn into Europe's top natural gas exporter.
