It doesn’t violate any agreement

Fars News Agency:

A Revolutionary Guards leader says Iran can wipe out Israel “in under eight minutes.”

On May 9, another Iranian general said Iran had successfully test fired a missile “with a range of 2,000 kilometers and a margin of error of eight meters.”

“Under a nuclear deal signed last year between world powers and Iran, ballistic missile tests are not forbidden outright but are ‘not consistent’ with a United Nations Security Council resolution from July 2015, US officials say.

“According to the UN decision, ‘Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,’ until October 2023.”

So is that what U.S. officials say to Iran? "Your threats are not consistent with our agreement."
