Vian Ameer Sulaiman from Iraq was also dethroned as Miss World Iraq 2017 for hiding her marital status. Masty Hama Adil (first runner-up at the Miss Iraq pageant) is now the new Miss Iraq 2017 and with this, she becomes the first beauty queen from Iraq to participate in Miss World pageant. Though not confirmed by the officials, there is a speculation that Iraq might not participate in Miss World 2017 due to ongoing tension in Iraq and its Kurdish region after the independence referendum.
