How do you pronounce Iraq?

Ir'ock'q

Or

Ir'aaa'q

(if that makes sense..) I have always pronounced it with an a.. however, I hear everyone pronounce it with and o.. So, hell.. I dont know what the correct way is.

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I Rack

 

[Slim_Jesta]

I pronounce it with an 'a' as well, but I don't know if that is correct either.
