No, the US cut off supplies of Steel and oil to the japanese, because we didn't want them gobbling up the Pacific.
So they hit Pearl Harbor and didn't even bother to actually finish the job, they could have hit the actual facilities and they would have crippled
us, instead they hit the ships, most of which were repaired and in service before the end of the war, just as a fear tactic.
They wanted us to reevaluate our position on their Imperialism, but of course Roosevelt had other plans, and used it as his scape goat to go to war
with Germany.
