This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.The 1967 Oil Embargo began on June 6, 1967, the second day of the Six-Day War, with a joint Arab decision to deter any countries from supporting Israel militarily.
During the June 9–18 Oil Ministers' Conference in Baghdad, Iraq, several Arab countries issued a communiqué[1] that two resolutions were unanimously passed: Invitees included Egypt, Syria, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar.
The United States advocated emergency measures in OECD meetings and supported the establishment of an International Industry Advisory Board.
The embargo resulted in public pressure on Middle Eastern leaders to support Arab solidarity.
[3] The Khartoum Resolution issued on September 1 allowed the moderate oil-producing nations (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Libya) to resume oil exports and regain this critical source of revenue without risking disquiet or even overthrow from their more radical citizens.
