I only read about ICBMs being armed with nuclear warheads. I have never read about them being armed with conventional weapons. So that must mean that the nations that have ICBMs only use them as part of their nuclear armed forces.
Why is this? Why not use ICBMs for conventional reasons?

To add a reason: ICBM is your weapon to deter the enemy. Ok its a perfectly fine missile, but would you ever take the risk of your ICBM falling short or wrong and then having the entire planet thinking your deterrent is a ruse?
In itself, using it will reveal a lot of things about your system, in the best case you give a chance to study a counter, in the worse you may make your deterrent look ridiculous.
