what political event caused opec to administer economic consequences in the 1970s?
the creation of israel
the yom kippur war
the iranian revolution
the creation of the plo

Explanation:

In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, OPEC (led by Arab member states) imposed an oil embargo on nations that supported Israel, which was a major economic consequence. The creation of Israel occurred in 1948, the Iranian Revolution was in 1979 (and did not directly trigger OPEC's coordinated 1970s economic action tied to this question), and the PLO was founded in 1964, none of which led to the specific 1970s OPEC economic measures in question.

Answer:

The Yom Kippur War
