All Arab nations that export oil are members of OPEC. When the US supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War (as to offset USSR's supplies to the Arab states) OPEC declared an oil embargo on the US..
OPEC responded with an embargo of the United States (which had sent materiel to Israel in the late stages of that war), which resulted in the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973.

yer or no?
Oil embargo affected the US in a few ways. The main way the US was affected by OPEC.
The Arab countries imposed an oil embargo on the United States and every other developed country. The hope was that this economic pressure would force the United States to pursue a Pro-Arab agenda. While the embargo was able to cow Japan into pursuing a more Pro-Arab agenda (as the embargo had much worse effects there), it was ineffective at changing American opinion.

OPEC wanted to raise the price of oil, so they used the supply /demand theory to get what they wanted. They held back the oil and raised the demand for it.
