The primary role of the United States in the Yom Kippur War (also known as the Ramadan War) was that the US supplied aid to Israel. During the conflict, which took place in October 1973, the US provided military and logistical support to Israel, particularly as the war progressed and Israel faced significant challenges on the battlefield.
Additionally, while the US did not directly engage in military battles against the USSR during this conflict, the war had significant geopolitical implications in the context of Cold War tensions, with the USSR supporting Arab nations like Egypt and Syria. The US also worked diplomatically to help bring about a ceasefire at the end of the war.
The other options regarding cutting off oil trade with Arab nations and offering support to Egypt do not accurately reflect the primary actions taken by the US during this specific conflict. The Arab oil embargo, while related to the war, was primarily a decision made by OPEC nations, and the US was not supportive of Egypt in this context, but rather aligned with Israel.
