It's just chest puffing. They already have conventional weaponry that would kill hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of minutes in the form of artillery. That same artillery would have 10-15 minutes of unrestricted firing before they would experience any sort of retaliation. With an ICBM, they can predict the trajectory and know where it is going to land, and have 30-60 minutes to respond. With the artillery, they have no reaction time and a guaranteed body count.
