It is also important to bear in mind that in 1973, the US suffered less from the OPEC oil embargo than Europe did, even though America, which had resupplied Israel in its war with Egypt and Syria in October of that year, was the primary target. In the end, America’s position in the region strengthened after Egypt became a US ally and made peace with Israel.
记住以下这一点也很重要。1973年，美国所遭受的欧佩克石油禁运要远轻于欧洲，尽管美国才是禁运的主要目标——因为美国在当年10月以色列对埃及和叙利亚的战争中支持以色列。最终，在埃及成为美国盟友并与以色列和解后，美国在该地区的地位提高了。
