Syria and Iran are allies. Why don't most Syrian refugees choose to flee to Iran?

Syria and Iran are both in the Middle East. Although the situation in Iran is not as chaotic as that in Syria, it is also threatened by terrorism.

Terrorism in Syria has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and relations between Syria and neighboring countries, especially Iraq and Jordan, are also very bad. These countries all have terrorists. If Syrian refugees want to flee to Iran, the nearest route is through Iraq or Jordan, and the Syrian people will eventually run out of their own war and go to a more dangerous place, where they are strangers and have terrorism. It is not worth just going to a relatively safe country.

The Mediterranean Sea is in the west of Syria, and the most rampant terrorist activities are in the Middle East. In Europe, although there are terrorist attacks every year, it is very rare. It is much more convenient to go to Europe by boat than to Iran. At that time, you will only face natural disasters, not man-made disasters and scares, and if you go to Europe, you can have many choices. Italy and Greece are both developed countries, so don't worry about terror.

Even if you can't go to Europe, you can go to Africa through the Mediterranean, such as Egypt and Libya. Because these countries are all on the Mediterranean coast, and their development is good, it will be better than going to Iran. Even if Iran is an ally, Iran can't protect your safety on your way to Iran, and the shipping time will be faster than walking to Iran.

To sum up, although Iran is an ally of Syria, Iran can't guarantee their safety in the process of coming to Iran, and it is slow and threatened by terrorists, so Syrians will not go to Iran more, but to countries in Europe or Africa or even America.
