Ear-rack is the closest way, but really it's "ea-rack". FVCK'S sake you'd expect a nation that attacked it to know how to pronounce it, but no everyone here thinks it's eye-rack, which is asnine. Funnily enough an ad on CNN I think it was had christiane amanpour joking about how people can't pronounce it. It's not hard. Damn it. Damn all of you too.
