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?

For one you don’t want people thinking you’re launching nukes.
Other reasons may include them being very expensive and unnecessary compared to conventional arms.
Why would you need to fire it half way across the world when you can do it from a few hundred miles away in the same relative safety.
