Why did some arab countries cut off oil shipments to the united states during the arab-israeli war? a) because the united states was providing aid to israel b) because they were facing an oil shortage in their nations c) because the united states refused to pay the oil prices set by opec d) because the war was very costly and it was too expensive to ship oil to the united states

A) because the United States was providing aid to Israel

During the Arab-Israeli war, Israel was at war with the nations surrounding her (the Arab nations). These specific nations provided the US with large quantities of oil. However, with the loss of support from the US (as the US supported Israel), the Arab nations cut off supplies of oil to the US, leading to a large oil shortage and the US researching for new ways to make oil, which led to the creation of synthetic oil.
