I thought about this when a coworker mentioned in casual conversation that they wondered why a certain head of state (no reason to get into specifics) is not simply done away with to resolve a currently ongoing international conflict. To my knowledge that’s almost never done in the real world because it rarely works as intended. I was wondering if any politics/international relationship experts or avid Hitman/Assassin’s Creed players knows the real reason why this is, and if there’s even a official term for why this is not done in real politics? Thanks.

there are many reasons for this.
first of all, its not easy to do, especially not if you want it to look like it was a random person doing it and not someone you paid for it.
then theres also the problem that especially in dictatorships the heads of state surround themselves with yes men that follow their ideals so the chances are if you get rid of the head the yes men below will not be any better and one of these people will most likely be the new head.
