And all US ICBMs can reach Iran. I wonder if any are already targeted?

Officially? No. We have pledged under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to NOT use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers.

Unofficially? We've done targeting studies.

If Iran suddenly announces that it's a nuclear power by nuking New York or Boston, those "targeting studies" will be relabeled as a "war plan," which will then be executed.
