France expressed concern over reports of protesters killed in Iran and urged authorities to provide full transparency, a diplomatic source at the French foreign ministry told Iran International on Sunday.

The diplomatic source said France regretted reports that several protesters had been killed during the unrest and called on the Islamic Republic to clarify the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

The source stressed the importance of freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly, urging Iranian authorities to respect all of Iran’s international commitments.

“We are following developments in Iran with the greatest attention,” the source said.

A man was seen carrying a pro-monarchy placard on Tehran’s Valiasr Street on Sunday, according to a video received by Iran International.

The footage showed the man walking along the busy central thoroughfare holding a sign reading “Javid Shah,” a slogan associated with Iran’s former monarchy.

A video circulated on social media showed the moment gunfire began during a protest in Malekshahi, in Ilam province, on Saturday.

On Sunday, videos received by Iran International showed residents attending the funerals of three of those killed.

In the footage, mourners were heard chanting “death to Khamenei” during the burial ceremonies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Iranians may be reaching a moment where they take their fate into their own hands, voicing support for protesters amid ongoing unrest in Iran.

Speaking at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said Israel identifies with what he described as the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and justice.

“The government of Israel, the State of Israel, and my own policies – we identify with the struggle of the Iranian people, with their aspirations for freedom, liberty and justice,” he said, according to a statement from his office.

“It is quite possible that we are at a moment when the Iranian people are taking their fate into their own hands,” he added.

“We reiterated our shared position of zero [uranium] enrichment on the one hand, and the need to remove the 400 kilograms of enriched material from Iran and to subject the sites to strict and genuine oversight."
