    iirc Iran and Pakistan took in most of the refugees during both the soviet invasion and the war on terror.

    3 million each during the soviet invasion, 1.7 million for Pakistan and 0.8 million for Iran for the war on terror.

    As expected, none of the other oil rich middle east nations took any unless you count illegal and human trafficking.

      That’s because all the other oil rich middle east nations are either America’s removed or the Soviet Union’s removed.
