People in France might call it iraqe nationale. Or some shit like that, but that's right for their language.

Anyone that says Eye-Rack and Eye-Ran is just a mong. The US gov used to do that but now they say it better. You don't say A-Merica do you. Or R-Ussia
Mongs

all wrong. well, more like ahey-raq. kind of hard to translate to english being as the letter doesnt exist in the english language. the letter pronounced by itself is "ayhn"
That is almost completely irrelevant. You don't say that Germany is being pronounced wrongly because we don't pronounce it Deutschland. The same is true in this case. The closest to the correct English pronunciation of it is the second option, although as phonetics go, that's a pretty crappy way of describing it.
If you want to say it properly, it'd be i-rahk, or something similar. The second syllable is NOT rack, it's rahk.
