Editorial Note: William and Tania Koenig are dear friends of IFA. God has used them mightily in reporting truth in the Israeli political and biblical landscape. As William has White House Press credentials and they both have strategic relationships with leaders in Israel and the U.S. they are positioned for this assignment.  Spiritual warfare has ramped up this year for the Koenigs. As a trusted prayer partner, IFA is calling for increased and strategic prayer for the Koenigs. Pray specifically for protection, open doors, favor, and personal protection for their home, safety, and marriage.

The graffiti on Tehran’s walls was not random rage—it was a warning.

“We smell the fall.”

And now, the regime is reacting—not with defiance, but with retreat.

Post a prayer for your state!

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has reportedly been moved to an underground bunker in Levezan, a heavily fortified military site northeast of Tehran. His entire family is said to be with him, deep below the surface in one of the most secretive and militarized zones in the country.

This is not a declaration of the fall. But it is a signal. A regime that must shield its leader beneath concrete and secrecy is not confident—it is concerned.

A Regime in Hiding

Throughout history, when rulers retreat underground, it is often a sign that judgment has begun in the spiritual realm, even if not yet manifested in the physical. We are watching a spiritual unraveling, not a political conclusion.

The throne may still stand, but it is shaking.

“Though they dig down to the depths below, from there my hand will take them.” —Amos 9:2

Levezan: Where Secrets Hide and Thrones Crumble

Levezan is no ordinary shelter. It’s a military command center linked to Iran’s covert operations. Now, it doubles as a fortress for a leader who once ruled in public power but now governs from shadow.

This is not yet the fall. But it is a prelude.

The prophetic atmosphere is intensifying. And in moments like these, the Church must move from observation to intercession.

Watch and Fast: The Clock Is Turning

As I wrote before, the Khomeini era is nearing its end. But the fulfillment of the word comes not when graffiti appears, and not even when a bunker is occupied—but when heaven decrees it fully.

Until then, we stand.

We pray.

We fast.

We watch.

“Then he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel. From the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard… but the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days.’” —Daniel 10:12–13

Let us take our position. Not to speculate—but to intercede.

Not to gloat—but to travail.

Until the throne falls.

This Throne Must Fall

There is no use praying for protection from war if we do not deal with the throne behind the war. There is no point asking for peace in Israel if we leave the prince of Persia untouched.

We are not just called to manage the shaking. We are called to confront the source of it. The throne must fall.

Khamenei’s bunker is not our focus—the principality is. And if we do not displace it, war will rage again and again. Political solutions will fail. Ceasefires will break. Nations will bleed.

But if the throne falls—and Christ is enthroned over Iran—everything shifts.

I call on the Church to rise with fire in her belly and authority in her mouth.

Fast. Pray. Prophesy. 

Jeremiah 49:35-39

35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the [a]bow of Elam, The foremost of their might. 36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds. From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all those winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies. And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the Lord; ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them. 38 I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord. 39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”

Until this throne is shattered.

Until Yeshua sits on the seat of power over Iran.

Not just freedom for a people.

But dominion for the King.

This is not about diplomacy.

This is about dominion.
