How does the current global oil crisis compare with the 1973 oil embargo?

High Credibility Center Neutral Logical Fallacies
Article Summary

The agency was founded in 1974 as a direct response to the 1973 oil embargo, which saw Arab nations, led by Saudi Arabia, cut production in response to Washington’s support for Israel during its war with Egypt and Syria that year. In 1973, embargoed countries faced a combined shortage of 4.5 million barrels of oil per day, about 7 percent of the global supply at the time. More than 50 years after the 1973 oil embargo, Al Jazeera examines how that episode compares with today’s crisis.
