Answer: OPEC raised oil prices to punish the United States for its support of Israel.

Major industrial nations of the world, including the the United States, faced energy crisis (substantial shortages of petroleum) in 1973. The 1973 Oil Crisis was said to be caused by the Arab Oil Embargo of OAPEC where OPEC raised oil prices to punish the United States for its support of Israel.
