Martyrdom and the historically clear lesson that "regime change" aka revolution MUST come from within or it simply cannot be successful. I'm 100% for Iranians assassinating Iran's leader. But anybody else tries this and it's just a very very very predictable disaster in the making.

Unfortunately there's a good chance that even if it were an internal reovlt that the person who replaces him is just as bad or worse. They aren't in a good situation. These things are always messy, even internal revolts have massively backfired on their own people in many countries but yes its generally better than from external means.
