      Sure, read any history articles talking about the war in the Middle East during From 1979 to 1989 and you'll find cited references. It was a big part of the war, and not hidden or anything.

      The Middle East was siding with the Soviets so the US-funded far-right extremists, the Mujahideen, who eventually because the far-right groups we know today.

      This history magazine has some decent citations in it. http://www.historyisnowmagazine.com/blog/2021/3/7/how-america-supported-the-anti-soviet-mujahideen-rebels-in-1980s-afghanistan

      But honestly, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find out about it yourself from any historical source.
