If they do this.....Could be a 'tipping point' for the regime. They sound desperate.

You're right, though another way outside of martyrdom would be great. Unfortunately, the tipping point usually occurs when the Grim Reaper places his hand upon the scale...

The tipping point occurs when some critical fraction of the army and the police no longer take the orders of the state. I've read that this is actually occuring in Iran, to the point that the regime has to import Islamist fanatics from elsewhere to form up its goon squads. That's a pretty sure sign it's tottering. Foreign goons never go over well in the native population.
