Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: Israel has publicly declared that it will respond to an Iraqi attack on Jordan because it won't allow Iraq's dangerous army to take control of Jordan's long border with Israel. Iraq's third attack option would be to start an undeclared war on the U.S. and other Western nations through terrorism.
