All Of The Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Responding to Japanese occupation of key airfields in Indochina (July 24) after an agreement between Japan and Vichy France, the U.S. froze Japanese assets on July 26, 1941, and on August 1, it established an embargo on oil and gasoline exports to Japan.

Detailed explanation-2: -Japan also didn’t completely decimate Pearl Harbor because it didn’t have the right targets in mind. While the battleships were vital to the American Navy, so, too, were the other resources nearby. Fueling stations, oil facilities, drydocks, and other important reservoirs and buildings were largely untouched.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the revisionists describe it, Roosevelt purposefully increased tensions between Washington and Tokyo by introducing embargoes in 1940–41 on scrap metals and petroleum products that Japan needed for its war machine.
