The main reason why OPEC imposed an oil embargo on the US is because the US supported Israel in its “Yom Kippur War” with Egypt, and OPEC was made up of states that were against Israel, who was fighting the war against Egypt.

Answer:

It had supported Israel in the Yum Kippur War.

Explanation:

During the Yum Kippur War of Israel against Jordan, Syria and Egypt, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, also known as OPEC stated that nations that supported Israel would face a monthly oil embargo of 5% until the support to Israel was retired, the main countries that faced this embargo were Canada, United States, Japan, Britain, Portugal, Netherlands, South Africa and Rhodesia; but later the OPEC declared a total embargo to the United States and Netherlands because they were the ones that supported Israel the most. This embargo generated an oil crisis and caused a rise on oil prices.
