An ICBM could hit any target on the planet. You're talking about long range ballistic missiles. Russia, China and North Korea are also a threat to Israel, should the first two decide to step in to help their proxy nations. The last one because they're China's nuclear-armed proxy.
One builds a defensive strategy to protect from ANY potential threat. "Oh our missiles only need to go 1,000 miles because no one farther away than that will EVER threaten us!" is idiotic.
There, explained it. You're welcome.

You just justified Iran and every other country in the world building long range ballistic missiles. Congrats
