The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees does the initial investigation of the potential refugees and handles most of the preliminary checks. This information is then forwarded to all governments that have agreed to take refugees and have not exceeded their internal quota (which would include the United States). The United States Department of State then leads a second investigation of the potential refugee with the consultation of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and several other federal agencies. The entire process takes over a year in length and far fewer than the maximum permitted number of refugees are actually settled in the United States.

It is important to note that the US process is far more rigorous than the refugee admission processes in Europe, which do almost no investigation at all into the supposed refugee's claims once they receive the recommendation from UNHCR or the migrant shows up on their doorstep.

This Article from "Time" explains the US process in much more detail.

How many Syrian refugees are moving to Iran?

NONE. Iran refuses to allow any Syrian refugees to come to the country. Iran's policy is particularly maddening since Iran is supporting Assad, who was responsible for starting the conflict back in 2011. Since Iran has a history of mistreating refugees (such as those coming from nearby Afghanistan), Syrians feel that they have better chance in Europe.

Did Europe ever let Syrian refugees in before?

YES. Europe did accept refugees from Syria for decades, but very few Syrians made it out of Syria since the Assads would have their armies shoot people who made an illegal crossing. Since Assad can no longer do this and the situation in Syria has substantially deteriorated, hundreds of thousands of Syrians are coming to Europe (instead of the small trickle from before).
