they have not, simply because this would cause sanctions and embargo of supplies that the oil producing countries would need, they cannot sustain on oil alone, they need imports of food and manufactured goods that they cannot produce themselves.

The Middle East has never completely cut off sales to the US, since the oil producing countries need that income, but they have limited it severely to send political messages. In 1973, the Arab League created an Oil Embargo against the US and other Western States in order to punish them for supporting Israel in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. As noted before, the embargo was a severe restriction, but not a complete cut off.
